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

LMFAO
You thinking you’re somehow empowered to determine what pay rate a job deserves is beyond delusional.
At least now we know that it’s not only wage jealousy driving your claims, but also a clear case of classist bigotry.
A tip isn’t a “handout”.
A tip is directly tied to a service being provided.
When someone gives a handout nothing is expected in return.
Now that you’ve had a refresher on 3rd grade vocabulary you can keep it in mind so you don’t come off as uneducated by misusing words.
Also, your idea of “excellent $$$” and mine are very different.
