@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

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

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

:jew: The protagonist of the movie catches child predators.
:0010: Wow, cool!
:jew: He's the bad guy.
:00090: Eh!? How come? Is this a situation like Dexter? Like he's a predator that catches other child predators and the audience has to decide if the good he does offsets the evil?
:jew: No, we're just on the side of the child predators.

@sun I think that kid had the right idea: hit back and get in trouble, so what? His refusal to play cynical games with rules and stand up for himself probably helped him more in life than my way did.
All I'd add is that, to not look stupid, your kid should also explain that he'd just rather get in trouble than play the teacher's little game.

@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.

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 I remember asking a restaurant owner about this in California, before the ways of the US of A were better known to me. Why should we tip so high and you pay so little in wages. His response was 'I pay the rent and the electricity and utilities on this place so that the staff can come here and earn a living in tips'. He really pictured himself as being some magnanimous landlord letting the serfs work his business and catch crumbs.
Evidently shit has gotten even crazier about this since I was last over.

Tipping is out of control and I say that as a person that used to work food service. There is a gas station here in town that has a tip jar. What possible fucking service could a gas station cashier provide that I would think "Wow that was above and beyond, better drop them a fiver"

@7666 it is a fact though that money and effort is poured into improving the grid in specific places to gather tax revenue while the residential grid rots so I get your point.

to the folks who suggested visiting a Lakritsroten in Stockholm, a million thanks, what a cool store!
however, with their help I may have finally found a licorice that is at my limit

25%
No thanks, and with something that rude, I'd go there to leave a penny for a tip.
