It's unfortunate of how the tipping system evolved over time in different locations. This I do not fault of the workers, but the act of adding a variable cash amount that is supposed to be a reward for good service, then making it a "standard" regardless of service, then have the gov't tax the worker to an assumed tip amount, then having your employer pay you minimum wage and expect you to make up your wage in tips, and finally produce a bunch of greasy d-bags (male and female) that need to shame you or do illegal things so they can make their nut.
That being said 18-20% seems to be my new standard and all it take is some competence and politeness to earn it.

Wow? Pitiful? Doing illegal things to make your nut? Fairly naive sentiment based on my tame anecdotes depicting me following proper credit payment procedure, with the side effect of pointing out to that person and people in that area realizing that they just didn't tip on 100$, and also calling a bitch a bitch. Sorry, the bar industry may just be a little too dark and seedy for you.
