Tipping is part of American culture. In the United States, servers at restaurants expect tips, and a large portion of their income comes from tips.
Is this fair? Is this a problem? That’s a different subject. Currently, that’s just the way it is. If you’re going to eat at a restaurant, your server is going to expect a tip.
Commonly, an 18% tip or a 20% tip is considered a good tip. Some people tip more or less. Some people don’t tip at all. Some people tip depending on how their food was and how their service was.
One server ranted on TikTok about “bad” tippers. Basically, he thinks that anyone who tips less than 20% is a bad tipper. He explained that he doesn’t think it’s “cute” to leave a $5 or $10 tip for a $200 bill. He even went above and beyond to tell viewers how to easily calculate a 20% tip.
