Was in the States recently for holiday. I guess a typical service would be.
1. Brings you to your table
2. Brings you menu. Introduces herself and tells you she'll be right back.
3. Takes your orders, brings you water
4. Brings you your food.
5. Circles back later asking if everything was alright and if you need anything else.
6. Brings you the cheque.

Frankly.. I don't think that warrants a 20% tip. But we just pay because it is customary. Are we happy paying? No. 10% would be ok. Not 20.


Edit: grammar and spelling

But that’s the thing. You don’t just have to tip servers. You have to tip delivery drivers, barbers, cafe baristas, and I have seen it at some drive through places too. Next thing you know, chefs will be circling the dining room to get tipped. This is getting ridiculous. The system needs to change.
