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

@sun @CobaltSasquatch well I don't know what to tell you but it was 10% when I first went over in the early 90's and the same when I was last there, they even told us so on the airplane so as not be caught unawares. I wasn't alive in the 60s-70s.

I remember it being 10% but then again I live in South Carolina and we didn't get the 90s until 2008

@Grumblesock @CobaltSasquatch areas vary, midwest could go lower. i admit it's impossible to say it was "standard" for an entire country in any time period but like, books, magazines, guides, from every time period can give you hints. I lived in bumfuck nowhere and by 1995 if you tipped 10% you were unambiguously cheap, that was an old-people tip. I started working in restaurants since about 1991 fwiw

@Grumblesock @CobaltSasquatch that's fair, 10% is in the acceptable range for recommendation to a visitor
