Now you basically never see 15%. The tip screen usually starts at 20 at the most generous places, and I’ve seen a ton that start at 30%.

20-25% was for exceptional or extra service, 15% for average decent service and 10% if they messed up alot.

15% for full waiter service; 10% for other service (eating at the bar, taxi cabs, etc.)

Redditors think it makes sense that the tip % would go up to account for inflation

I was a bartender in undergrad at multiple places, some pretty nice and some just insane college bars, and it was always 15. I’d always hear people joke about how some of them couldn’t figure it out and someone else would chime in with this “weird trick” where you do 10% in your head which is easy and then add half of that to make 15.

I think many people have just stopped tipping so they're depending on a few suckers to make up for the lost revenue.
