How much do you tip at a restaurant? (lemmy.ml)

To those who live in or who have visited the United States.

Growing up in the 90's, the "minimum acceptable" tip was 10%, average was 15%, and a good tip was 20%. These days, I just round to the nearest dollar and tip 20%, but I've heard these days it's not unusual to tip up to 40%!

What do you usually do?

20 standard

15 should be standard. Menu prices are raising, why should tip raise roo?

...yes. do you miss the fact that menu prices going up means the tip is going up even at the same percentage?
