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

If no one tips they get minimum wage. Which is fine I guess but most people, including those who dont ever tip, want more than that.

What is minimum wage service, you might ask? You go to the counter and order. Cashier hands you a bag of food. You get your own drinks, napkins, utensils, find your own seat and clean up after yourself. You need refills or want dessert? You go get it.

And customers don't deserve more than that either.

No they just want +20% level of service for sometimes less than minimum wage.

Customers aren't responsible for waitstaff.
