Tip 0 and see what kind of service you get the next time.

I used to work food delivery and naturally the customers ordering takeout at fancy restaurants would always tip 0 to the restaurant even if they tipped me for delivery.

I quickly found myself ignored by all the workers at those restaurants, orders take an hour extra to fill, no one talk to me, etc. eventually I learned to tip out of my own tip because my next service is contingent on the prior tip.

Because here in the US the tip is considered part of their salary. No tip? You're not paying them for their work, it's no wonder they're ignoring you.

And that can only be fixed with legislation.

I live in an affluent area and my daughter works in food service. She says the people she knows to be wealthy are generally the worst tippers (often 0%). I have stuck with 15% even though that is below the suggestions on receipts these days and she tells me that's high for the restaurant's average.
