re: Cnn report on tipping

quote:

---

57 percent say they tip 15 percent or less at sit down restaurants. Young people tip more than older ones.

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 %.
