@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.

@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 don't take this as an endorsement of tipping, it fucking sucks and it's just institutionalized worker exploitation
