I'm old enough to remember when standard was 10%, and 15% was reserved for exceptional service.

I still do that. Minimum wage here is like $18/hr. It’s not like the states where you can pay them $3/hr. I refuse to tip a minimum of 18% like so many machines insist on

I've had arguments on here with people who say 10% was never a thing. I'm Gen X, so it wasn't even that long ago.

I was born in 97. This is in Canada so it is a bit different, but I always grew up with 10%, 2019/2020 is when it started just skyrocketing

I am shocked to see people saying 10% was a thing, been tipping since the 90s and never tipped below 15%. Everyone I know tipped either 20% or double the tax (about 15-20% depending on the year)

Me too

They’ve passed on the cost of paying their employees on to the consumer being required to tip them more. It’s total bullshit
