What's the usual tip to give at restaurants in the US?

[lambo]

But I'm not. I tip 20%+. Mostly because it's stupid easy to calculate in my head. I just think it's a lame practice. I'd rather have prices at restaraunts go up by 20% to provide better wages so tips would feel more like a reward than a necessity.

Man I wish tipping would die out and people would be paid what they deserve from the get go. Such a sham.

TIPS ensure they do, quit being a cheap ass.

Nothing wrong with tips. I like tips, and give them to people who do a good job. We get them often at the shop.

Agreed. I meant the social standard that tips are essentially required.

I like the way you think sir.

also, does anyone tip the individual who cuts their hair?
I do. especially when they do it right.

Yep. She cuts my hair the way I ask, a good shampoo, and always pours me a big glass of red wine for my visit.

Hey it's my philosophy. In fact it's not tipping I believe in, its over tipping.

I love that movie.
I also love tips.

And, if you find me some arugula, I'll give YOU a tip.

Well seriously... A percentage? What's earned about that?

Usually, if I'm getting my hair cut on the cheap at great clips or cost cutters, I'll give the lady 2 or 3 bucks if she was nice... Now a real barber is going to get a little more.

I don't go for that percentile shit. You do a real nice job over at the friendly's at lunch time, you're getting a 5.

Gas station attendant?

[dannyyisntt]

Any tip above 5% better come with a HJ

[WhatWentWong]

So......which of you generous tippers here tips your gas station attendant or your walmart aisle staff, or your construction worker who is selling labour for money?

Tipping in the food industry is a North American plague and is institutionally subsidizing the practice of poor base wage conditions its people are suffering from. If everywhere else in the world can sustain a food industry without tips, why can't we?

FYI Chinese restaurants do 10% here in Vancouver Canada. The tips don't go directly to your server. They are pooled, the owner, the managers and the kitchen staff all have their fingers in the pool. Servers get the last cut. Good service or bad, it's 10%. Keeps things simple. If servers aren't happy with this, they go find other work.
