@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
