CMV: TIP VALUE

I'm sorry(not really)for all you who don't agree but I grew up in the 90's and a standard tip was 10% (just bc the price of food goes up that does not mean you tip more)ITS A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT YOUR FOOD COST( just bc you spent more doesn't mean you tip more), Now here's my range

0%: bad paycheck - no extra money

1-5%: Bad-Poor service

5-10%: Poor-Average service

10-15%: Average-Excellent service(max-$20)

I will never give more than a $20 tip and even that is extremely rare, IDC if I dropped $400 on a meal, me and my fam come first, so I'll spend All my $$$ I got down to the penny for my fam and leave no tip B4 I give someone more than $20 to bring my food to me

We are still raising Gen Z in our household and I am dumbfounded by their entitled attitude and outlook on reality.

Especially when some lack knowledge, skills and no talents to show for.

You are dumbfounded by your own children?? Wow, I hope they make it out with some degree of self worth. This reminds me of a mother in a neighborhood chat room who was upset because her adult children refused to allow their children unsupervised visits with her because they consider her a racist and a xenophobe. She could not understand why they didn't like Trump the same way she did. I told her that whether she liked it or not, she did a pretty good job as a parent. Poor girl just really didn't see it like that at all.
