@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%.

@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.

@sun @Grumblesock @CobaltSasquatch doesn't even make sense here now. Servers make regular minimum wage here and tipping is still expected- 15% is the cheapskate option... I don't even get why the % goes up over time, like dude inflation is already factored in since it's a percent of the total.
