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

The thing is it doesn't warrant any percent tip. It warrants them being paid a living wage. But the companies have instilled the idea of tipping into is so thoroughly that they don't even have to pay their workers minimum wage and we're forced to make up the difference. 



Don't not tip, rough, because their employers would rather die than pay them the difference.
