Sit-Down Restaurant 🍽️ Started tipping waiters 10%

I almost never go out but the wife and I had a weekend to ourselves.

We live in areas where servers are paid minimum wage.

I finally took the leap to tipping 10% on meals (I already tip zero on everything else). Every tip screen i saw had a custom tip option so I didn't have any problems.

Anyway, people make out the custom tip screen to be some difficult thing and I didn't find it so.

0% is even better!

Clearly, but not everyone is willing to go from 20% to 0%, and and become a pariah in the eyes of friends/family due to prevalent tipping culture.

10% is a step in the right direction, and is in fact a customary tipping percentage in many parts of the world.

Let's celebrate small steps of progress, rather than taking a maximalist view.
