I'm American and almost always leave 20% +$1. Sometimes more if the service was particularly good. They have to be rude or seriously suck for no obvious justifyable reason for me to leave less than 20%, which has almost never happened and I eat out a lot. If i eat somewhere and the bill is super cheap like less than $20 like say a waffle house or denny's I'll leave atleast $5, hell the server did the same work or more than places that just charge more and have alcohol.
Now if its a very expensive meal and i buy a bottle of wine, i dont tip the full price of the wine and i tip on the pre-tax bill, but still atleast 20%. In the states servers make far less than minmum wage and rely on tips unlike most everywhere else in the world so it is the social norm to tip at the very least 15%, assuming service was decent. Some of you are some cheap fucks if you're living in the states.
Not leaving a tip is considered an insult to waiters/waitresses in America, even leaving just 10% is a sign of being a cheapskate. Waiters/waitresses get paid smallass wages and need tips to earn their living, at least 20% is recommended. However, it's ok to leave smaller than 20% if the service was bad, or rude, but don't leave no tip at all unless the server was so shitty, like if they literally slammed your glasses down on table in front of you, or they literally undeservingly used a pissy hostile tone with you.
Do you always tip?
