Depends on server.
If male, that's an auto -5% starting off. Right out the gate. Obvious Hygene plays a factor, if they are of help points can be earned.
If female, the line stays. If hot, add +5%. Etc.
In general females suck when they get in the weeds and shite hits the fan.
Yeah they may look good but 99.9% of the time they aren't going home with you anyway.

usually around 10% minimum, more depending on service

This is not true . . . It's called tip creep. In the early 1900s the standard was 10%. Over the past century it has doubled to 20%. I wouldn't be surprised if the standard risesto 25% over the next decade.

20% for good service. If you suck, I'll still probably give you 10%. I've left a penny on two different occasions...the service was that damn bad I wanted to make sure I got my point across and they didn't just assume I forgot to tip.
Highest I've gone is probably the $150 tip I left for the guy who did probably the best job I've ever seen when the fiance and I did the chef's tasting menu at a restaurant in Savannah.

That works well when the sales tax is 8-10%. In some places the sales tax is only 5%

Ignoring the rest of the post, this has always been the case.
Cooks only make a few bucks and hour, because anyone can do it at 80% of restaurants. I'm obviously not counting good restaurants that have true chefs.

I think it'll go the other way. Tipping is going to go down.

My buddy said that the normal is 20% now
Why would it increase to 20%? Since the tips are a % of total, isn't it already indexed to inflation?
I tip 15% normally. 20% for particularly excellent service or if I'm too drunk to do the math.

I've worked places that if your credit card tips were below 15% on consecutive days you will get written up and reprimanded
What place is this? Because that is a terrible policy. I have tipped with cash and paid with credit card many times.

Servers are trained the following standards:
10% - Poor service
15% - average service
18% - decent to good service
20% - great service
Solid scale IMO.

20% minimum. Or a dollar/beer 2$/mixed drink.
If I get great service though the sky is the limit (50%+)
Here's a tip. When your drinking at a bar (and your going to be there for more than 2 or 3 rounds), give the bartender 20$ and tell them your going to be there a while.
Guaranteed better service and stronger drinks.
When someone tips me up front at my bar, they're going to get served first no matter what a-hole is standing next to them waving their card around.

20%.
The math is easier to do in my head than figuring out 15%. Move the decimal to the left, then double it.

You sound like you're asking a question to someone returning from a vacation. You do realize that Vietnam was a war?
