I would say that 15 is still the minimum, but 20 is the standard.
As in, 20 is for everything within 2 standard deviations of the mean. 15 says you were passable but no better.

What's the point of tipping? Paying above cost for good service, right?

I throw change in there sometimes, but that's about it

Set out a tip jar, see if anybody bites

Not the jar, the line on the check/receipt for tip.
Preppy

You can leave that blank too

The point of tipping is so businesses can be cheapskates, pay their employees dirt and rely on customers to be HR.

I refuse to tip

You mean for non-sit-down restaurants right?

expecting a tip is pan handling

Tipping is expected.

You just strengthened my argument
BigYfan

Only person receiving a handout is you, buddy. You receive service and don't pay for it. Comes off cheap and broke.
Cashmeousside
6/27/17 5:15pm
It's not a handout.

Until they make it illegal not to tip

It's people like you why BYU will never be invited to a P5 conference.

If you don't think money plays a role in these decisions, you're delusional.

Money yes
BigYfan
6/27/17 7:34pm
That's not fair.

It's all part of the same argument.BYU fans don't spend enough $ on road games.
Hotty-Toddy-Reb

Yeah, but nobody cares if they tip.

I hope the waiter/waitress spits in your food when you go out to eat. You can go ahead and try and argue why it's ok..

Get off your high horse
BigYfan
6/27/17 6:36pm
Sure, it's optional. But it does say bad things about you if you don't.
BengalCougar
6/27/17 6:40pm
Its not optional if you receive decent service. That's why they are paid WAY BELOW minimum wage:
Finngirl
6/28/17 8:07am
How is it not optional?
BigYfan
6/28/17 9:28am
Only if you feel legal = non-optional, and not legally required = optional
Finngirl
6/28/17 12:35pm
But I have

Agree, but spitting in someone's food is even worse...

Agreed.

Spitting in someone's food is a crime and something a disgusting human being

It happens every single day in every single city.

as far as I'm concerned, tipping is for service

One of my most hated things we do in America. I don't mind paying a bit

I'm not sure what the restaurant industry currently thinks tipping should be

Tipping is supposed to be 15% minimum, though it seems to be rising to 20%
CougarVeteran

I would say that 15 is still the minimum, but 20 is the standard.
Cashmeousside

Yes, more or less what I meant
CougarVeteran

I don't think I have tipped less than 15% for a long time, but having grown up
Nat Gas Man
6/27/17 4:38pm
Tipping is an odd mix of paying for service, salary shifting, and charity.

I think that if people want to not tip in a sit down restaurant they should tell the waiter beforehand

I understand that. Even still, is minimum wage a fair wage for the work performed? That's like 1-2 dollars/table
Cashmeousside
6/27/17 4:33pm
What's fair? It's a job. Want more money? Get in back and wash dishes.

Providing service to a table is a rare transaction in that you don't know your payment until after. That said, there is
Cashmeousside

OK then let me go back and get my own food and give my own order
BigYfan
6/27/17 4:45pm
They could charge more and call it "fast pass"
IGlowInTheDark
6/27/17 4:47pm
Sounds like home? If that's the experience you want, maybe you should eat there instead?
Cashmeousside

eating out is when I don't want to cook or shop for groceries

You'd wait less time if you weren't known for being a horrible tipper.

I tip on the low side much of the time. Most places, they're never going to see me again anyway.
