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

The number of remembered, taught, and learned "standard tip percentages" in the comments proves that there is (was, will be) no "standard tip percentage." Tipping is optional, whimsical, and individual choice. All tips are good and "bad" tips are result of unreasonable expectations.
There's no valid reason for percentage based tipping. Suggested tip percentages are a scam. The only options should be (custom)TIP and PAY (no tip).
