    10% is customary. If you really liked the service. Anything above that is an excuse for host not to pay decent wages. So he can fuck right off.

      I’m in the US where 15-20% is customary, so 18% at the top end is pretty low. The system is shit, but I’m not going to impact anyone’s livelihood because I disagree with it.

        The employer that is paying the shitty wage wants you to feel this way.

          Yeah but stiffing a waiter isn’t going to magically make the employer pay a fair wage.

            That’s exactly how the system is perpetuated

            But that’s on the employer, right? Shitty employers want you think it’s your responsibility as a customer to ensure a fair wage.

        It was always 10-15%, but they’ve managed to edge that upwards over the years. You used to be a hero if you tipped 20%, now they look at you like you just stiffed them.
