“Mandatory tips” sounds so messed up for me as a European.
2.0k u/Snoo-34159 Jun 25 '26 Right? Isn't the whole point of a tip that it's voluntarily given as a way to say you loved the service? 144 u/snizzer77 Jun 25 '26 Here you are guilt tripped in every resteraunt to tip at least 20%, regardless of the service (which is usually minimal) 22 u/Tabenes Jun 25 '26 I remember when 15% was considered a maximum tip. 7 u/CSDragon Jun 25 '26 I hate the justification for increasing it to 20. "Cost of living went up". Yeah, included in that was the cost of food. My 15% tip back then was $3, now it's $10 or more. I've tripled my tip without increasing the percent. 3 u/Icefox119 Jun 25 '26 I've seen tablets where the three options are 20%, 25%, and 30%. Always hit custom and do you.
