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?
