I'm struggling with this right now because I've typically been a (admittedly naively) generous tipper.
But at my usual haunts prices are going up, I know wages are going up and to be my usual tipper is getting more and more expensive and I've been having to cut back a fair bit.
Because as the price is going up that 15%-20% tip is getting pretty big.
I dont want to become a cheap tipper but its beginning to look unavoidable.

Ya to be honest as prices go up and we know wages have gone up it is my opinion that tips will go down to the 10% or lower and no one should feel any shame for that. If someone is losing money due to tip out then those places should change their system. The other option is to just not go out anymore which a lot of people will start doing because of the price.
For me I have significantly cut back my dining out. Especially with things like skip the dishes and such that allow for delivery from a lot of places if I don’t want to cook that’s a far better option.
