It has. I don't know when percentage based tipping started here but when I was growing up you went and ate. If the service was good you tossed down 2-5 bucks and that was it. The tip wasn't expected to be based on your bill because paying someone more money to carry a plate with different food on it seemed insane

@CobaltSasquatch IIRC it was 10% as a rule of thumb last time I was over, that was in 2008 though and I wouldn't sweat that even now but 25% is taking the piss. Putting up such a sign would drive me away immediately, we are supposed to be customers, not pay pigs. 

Tip culture has started to creep in over here but never really took root.

@Grumblesock @CobaltSasquatch 15% USA nationwide since the 1970s. you have to go back to the 1960s for it to be 10%.
