      It was 30 years ago, but the tipping percentage has been subject to inflation for some reason right alongside the cost of the service.

      Feels like an intentional double dip as a fuck you to me.

        Yeah, I figured so. My knowledge on American tipping culture is based on 90s movies.

        The reason is that minimum wage has been stagnant for the last 20 years. Servers are still getting paid $5 an hour plus their tips.

      America seems to be a bit crazy.

      Pretty sure 0%-10% is standard in the UK. Though a lot of those cheeky service charges are around 12.5
