Nearly two-thirds of Millennials typically tip below the standard 20 percent suggestion for tips at restaurants, while about half of adults older than 38 say they tip less than 20 percent when eating out, according to a new Creditcards.com study.
The study also revealed that 10 percent of Millennials say they "skimp out" entirely, often leaving nothing for a server when dining out.

But Setting, a co-host on the Awesome Etiquette Podcast, thinks not leaving a tip is almost never a good idea. When you don't tip at restaurants, "you’re essentially underpaying someone,” he said.

Young people with less money and 100k in student loans don't tip as generously?

I usually tip almost exactly 20% because I can easily do the math in my head

For the record, I always tip 20 or higher out of sheer laziness, even for bad service
Move the decimal one spot, double the number, round up...

There are a few groups that occupy this space. This is but one of them.

Who decided tipping 20% is standard?

Other survey findings:
Women are more generous tippers
Other survey findings suggest older Americans and womern are better tippers
Older people tend to be more generous tippers.
Nearly 55 percent of seniors age 65 and up said they tip 20 percent or more at restaurants, the highest of any age groups. Just 35 percent of people under 30 reported tipping at that level.
Women are more generous tippers than men.
The median tip from women is 20 percent, compared with just 16 percent from men.
White restaurant customers reported tipping more than black or Hispanic patrons.
Just 13 percent of whites said they typically tip less than 15 percent, compared with 48 percent of blacks and 36 percent of Hispanics.
Customers in the Northeast and Midwest tend to tip more.
Diners in the South and West tend to tip less, and Southern customers are most likely of all (7 percent) to stiff servers and wait staff.
Married people tip more than singles.
And those with higher incomes and college degrees are bigger tippers.

This millennial always tips double the tax unless service is exceptionally bad.

I’m a millennial and the service has to be next to abysmal for me to not tip at least 20%.

Beg to differ. I've know lots of folks in the service industry in N.O. and they all say black patrons are the absolute worst tippers and act the most needy.
Oh, and don't kill the messenger as I am only relaying their feelings on this subject.

If I’m alone, I’ll tip $2 max. Regardless of what I order. It shouldn’t be hard to take care of one person. And that’s even when I eat with coworkers during lunch and the checks are split.

To be fair, when the frick did 20% become standard?

This is widely known and an absolute fact. Even my black friends admit it.
Major media outlets cannot say this in an article because there will be riots in the streets.
