What do you tip at a restaurant?

I got chastised for leaving a 16% tip. My buddy said that the normal is 20% now. Did the standard 15% changed recently to 20%?
At that rate, I wouldn't be surprised if the people bringing the food is making more than the people who cook in the kitchen.

Typically 20%. Had bad service Thursday night, tipped 15. Had great service at pluckers a few weeks ago, tipped 50% (not much $$ wise from Pluckers).

Europeans think americans are fricking weird for tipping.

20% is the norm

Their menu prices are also extremely high because they pay all servers hourly wages.

Probably because they pay their servers differently so you don't have to tip.
And I usually go 20% unless the service is bad.

I appreciate good service and like to make sure those people are taken care of.
And yes I do tip on alcohol even if ordering bottles of wine

I don't give a shite what they think about what I do. I think they do some stupid shite and I am sure they don't care what I think.

20%. From the answers so far, it looks like your buddy is right, you cheap piece of shite.

A little note. Tip a little higher if you go somewhere for breakfast and get great service. That bill could easily be more than half of a dinner bill and the server works just as hard and relies on tips also.

Agree.
Some of the lunch places I go to I end up getting water and a simple lunch and the total might be $6 or $7. I will usually leave $3 for that.
Happened today at a Vietnamese place

20% and then round up.
Posted on 3/11/17 at 5:26 pm to PeteRose
Double the sales tax and round to the next dollar
Posted on 3/11/17 at 5:27 pm to SuperSaint
15% then round up.
Unless they really go out of their way and are attentive
Then 20%
