How much do people tip? (lemmy.ca)

I'm so lost on how to tip anymore. I remember back when 12% pre-tax was considered a really good tip, but now the kiosks recommend 20-25% (which is usually ON TOP of tax).

I already don't tip anywhere I'm not sitting down with service, but 20-25% is crazy when I'm just trying to get fed.

If I tip, I only tip where I get to consume my food and or beverage before paying. 15% is standard for reasonable service. Maybe 18% if my kids are with me and make a mess while eating that someone will need to help clean up (I do try to help keep things clean, but sometimes making a quick exit is better for all involved).
