That's the minimum I can tip without the spouse trying to sneak more money onto the table when I'm not looking. I'd rather pay 15% up front than 25% through the back door, out of the family's petty cash reserve. Poor service earns 10%, but only if I intend to ever return to that restaurant. The worst tip I ever left was $0.02, and that number was chosen to distinguish it from someone who just doesn't tip. I have never even seen service good enough to merit 25%. I think it's perfectly fine to tip 10% for median service, so long as you tip more for good service and less for bad. Giving "everything is awesome" tips to everyone, all the time, is the tipping equivalent of "everyone gets a trophy" competitive sports. You're not really helping the people you're giving them to, because you're eliminating critical feedback signals. |
