57 percent say they tip 15 percent or less at sit down restaurants.

Young people tip more than older ones.

i hover around 20%, smaller bills i'm closer to 30% tip and larger bills probably 18%

my bank is constantly emailing me asking if i meant to tip 50% or 100% on bills that are like $13

I'd love to see the demographics on this one.

I tip even if it's subpar service. However, it goes up depending on the quality of service. Good service normally equals 20%. Good service plus a hot chick and it goes up to 25.

I tip 20% if the service is good.

At order from the cashier restaurant and they hand me my food in a bag - 0%.

Same at a bar of the girl simply hands me a beer. - 0%. I’m already paying $5 for a Miller Lite. I’m not giving you an extra dollar.

Not sure why 15% became 18% and then 20%+. It’s also expected before service more which makes no sense. You get tipped for work performed. If you don’t perform you don’t get tipped.

I pretty much always tip 20% at a minimum when sitting down at a restaurant. If I’m getting to-go food I tip $1 per item that needs to be boxed. We’re a family of 5 so typically that puts me tipping $5 no matter how much the food costs.

That’s because Boomers and Gen Xers were taught that 15% was the norm. 18% became the norm when sales tax became 9% and it was easier to double the tax rather than calculate 15% in your head.

With these dumb arse machines that you have to pay with the server standing at the table the % will continue to creep up. So servers will get a raise from inflation plus a higher %.

Tax X 2. Good all around formula for fair tipping in my opinion. Thats what we do.

If my sit down lunch is in the $14-17 range, I just pay an even 20 cash. I drink plain water, so it's normally around there.

$20-30 meal, I charge and give a $5 cash tip

I think it’s hilarious that the OT will sit at the bar and tip 20% to a bartender to open a $200 bottle and bring them a $30 small small plate with commentary water.

People are stupid

I tip bartenders at 30-50% at places I frequently go to, which inevitably reaches an equilibrium where I don't get charged for several drinks and they still get a fat tip (and I'm given immediate priority regardless of how busy it is).

Servers at true sit-downs get 20-30%.

Flat rate of $3-10 for counter service; amount depends if I ordered one thing or several.

I don't mind throwing money to folks as long as they are mildly competent.
