To those who live in or who have visited the United States.

Growing up in the 90’s, the “minimum acceptable” tip was 10%, average was 15%, and a good tip was 20%. These days, I just round to the nearest dollar and tip 20%, but I’ve heard these days it’s not unusual to tip up to 40%!

What do you usually do?

    That seems pretty unusual to me.

    I normally tip 20%.

      Generally keep a baseline 20% unless service is either outstanding or abysmal.

      But if your owner decides that they’re gonna nickel-and-dime service fee me on the tab and indicate it poorly, I’m probably not going to come back to the restaurant in question.
