You clearly think about tipping far more than just when you’re active in this thread.
There’s no reason to get offended by the comment. I couldn’t tell you what range of numbers the last 20 tipping prompts, or which places had prompts that were deserving vs not deserving. I don’t read anything into it. A place that has 15, 18, 20% options vs a place that has 20, 25, 30% options are viewed no differently to me and I have trouble imagining why they would be. We’re just different folks.
Just because I tip 20% and don’t feel the need to pinch pennies around it doesn’t mean you should feel bad about 12% or need to justify it. I just don’t really care to math it out and make a dining experience an evaluation of someone’s performance. A flat 20 solves the “just make it part of the cost” issue because I know everything is just 20% more than what it says.
I get it though. My partner always asks me what to tip. They put thought into it literally every single time that machine is in their hands. I just think it’s silly.
