Why?

Yes, the standard in 1996, unless you're in some backwoods dive bar.

It's not "the system" when tip share varies from restaurant to restaurant and it isn't written down anywhere.

Don’t be a pussy

Because until recently, tipping on food and not alcohol was proper etiquette and "the standard"

6 glasses of wine per bottle? You guys must be drinking the gallon bottles of screw-top Mogen David.....

I'm not cheap, but I'm also not going to throw away money to gain some sort of false superiority over strangers on the internet.

I'll tip appropriately and you can tip 35% of total bill. You win.

I don't tip 35% of my bill. See, now you're mad. You've admitted that it's no longer the standard, but you're going to proudly wallow in continuing your old ways, so much so that you'll engage in hyperbole to cast aspersions on others.

It's odd.
