I wonder if the places where 20% has been the standard for a long time are states where servers make the super low server minimum wage? Here in California they have always made the normal minimum wage; which in 2022 is $15/hour. When I worked retail we all made minimum wage and weren't tipped, we were always annoyed at going out to eat and having to tip because they made the same amount we did except they handled food instead of clothing or groceries. As someone who has worked both retail and in a restaurant… a restaurant is way more difficult. I totally believe that! There are reasons I never wanted to be a server at that age. |

The dad tipped 4%. It just made me realize how long ago that was when 10% was generous and the receipt was carbon copies from the credit card imprinter. So really 14% together, or am I misunderstanding? My husband still struggles with 15% no longer being standard - and we're not that old! Honestly, the standard changed when restaurant servers started posting demands for 18% all over social media. I depsise tipping (i do tip and I tip well) and wish it would go away. There is also a trend in this country to think we need to be tipping everybody. Servers make a tipped worker wage which is ridiculously low. That is why they get tips. |
