I would rather fair wages, but this works too, I guess.

yeaaaa 20% ain't happening for me, 10% for bare service, less for shit service, 15 for normal. the chances of me doing 20% outside of insanely amazing service is super slim unless the full cost is low.

was raised an appropriate tip was 15 for standard, anything more is a kindness. It's not reasonable to have that expectation on people. at that rate just raise the menu prices and have the wages go up.

thankfully I haven't seen anywhere where a 20% tip is required (outside of a massive group but that makes sense in my mind, it's a lot of work doing 8+ people)

I've seen some places now having recommended tip rates at 28%, like when does it stop? I disagree with tipping culture, and a "tip" for a single person's meal shouldn't be over triple the hourly salary in the first place.
