10% isn't bad, but here in the US you're kind of expected to tip 20%-25% on most things

Which i still dont get. Standard used to be 15% and now the default os 20%.

I know everything is more expensive, but that should be accounted for with a %, versus a static number, no?

(not asking you personally, just venting out loud)

I know you weren't asking me directly, but I genuinely believe its because of the corporate culture shift, trying to put more pressure on the customers to pay employees directly, thus having the employers pay less.

10-15% is a good tip. 25% feels like were fronting the employee wages on top of the service fees.

That's exactly what it is, most states still have the tipped wage set well below the federal minimum, and the companies operating them don't want to give that up.
