tip 20%, if you can afford to eat out you can afford to not be a dick
tip less only if it's the only possible way to convey that you have been treated poorly and are unlikely to return
seriously, tipping well is the light and is the right thing to do. Restaurant staff (especially in small local spots) do remember you.
I'm so used to tipping 20% in NYC that when I go out with my mom/family friends in NJ and they ask how much the tip will be and I tell them what the 20% would be, they pish posh and go "oh that's way too much" and write down much less
And behind my eyes blooms a painful and throbbing realization
That these people
Are monsters
Seriously!
and it's so easy to calculate compared to the squirrelly math my mother tries to do to figure out her 12.5% tip
just
you look at the total
move the decimal one place to the left, multiply by 2
works evry tiem
It is told that Muhammad awoke one day to the sounds of the Adhan, the Muslim daily call to prayer. Preparing to attend, he began to dress himself; however, he soon discovered his cat Muezza sleeping on the sleeve of his prayer robe. Rather than wake her, he used a pair of scissors to cut the sleeve off, leaving the cat undisturbed. When he returned from the Mosque, Muhammad received a bow from Muezza in gratitude. He then stroked his beloved cat three times.

in oregon there are people who pump your gas for you
and it makes me feel awkward because you dont tip them!
they do that in jerz also, though I think you can tip them? I don't know, I do not drive in this horrible state.
I am from Pennsylvania where you damn well better pump your own gas (and sometimes your own damn well water... >.>)
Also when I was in the US I didn't tip my taxi driver.
Was that a faux pas? It seemed weird to do so, but IDK
yeah you're supposed to tip them
because we're weird people
How...?
well, like
taxi drivers don't make $2.13 an hour i don't think
so why am i paying extra for the service i'm paying them for?
Taxi drivers are probably independant contractors and don't make anything hourly, just whatever they make on their run and probably only a percentage of that.

To be fair
Unless you have way crazier dinners out than i do, dividing by 8 is not a lot more complex than multiplying by 2 :razz:
Though again, 20% tips indirectly lead to other people touching my wiener, so
Keep on keeping on

hooray, doctors confirmed my mom didn't have a heart problem and released her for the night!
they're setting her up with a guts doctor because her acid reflux is so bad it burns her chest when she walks, and that's been going on for a while, but it isn't a heart thing, thank god

the son of a friend of ours got his first job working at a Cheddar's and he regularly got stiffed or left religious pamphlets as a "tip" *eyeroll*
So, being sort of worried it was because he sucked I sent a group of teenagers in and got them sat in his section and watched from another section...he was great! A table of obnoxious people he knew weren't going to be able to tip him well and he still did everything he could. Turns out it was the clientele of that particular restaurant (and I use the term loosely). He now works at a server at a pizza join and has been able to move out and get an apartment.

a lot of the employees at my job are conservative (and not like- we believe in smaller government, we want a more literalist interpretation of those papers... they are the nasty version of the word). these 16 year old grocery baggers saying the most vile, teaparty-ish shit. it's real sad for me personally.
I was at a Piggly Wiggly in Milwaukee Wisconsin, which is basically one of the most miserable places one can be in the Midwest, and heard two teenage baggers bitching about how the Democrats want to raise the minimum wage and take their jobs
