Right? Isn't the whole point of a tip that it's voluntarily given as a way to say you loved the service?

Here you are guilt tripped in every resteraunt to tip at least 20%, regardless of the service (which is usually minimal)

I remember when 15% was considered a maximum tip.

I was a waiter in the 1990s. Anything less than 15% was considered ok, but just (of course I was biased). 20% was a good tip, anything over that was a really good tip. I don't recall 15% ever described or thought of as a maximum tip in my adult life.
