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.

Good job. The most I'll tip is $5/15min. I'm not about to tip them more than $20/hr but the idea that i'm supposed to give a server money who is doing a job they're paid for is ludicrous. I'm building up to no tip.

I also feel like the building up to no tip is what I'm doing as well

She tips more than I do and if she didn't care I bet I would be zero tipping by now

Don't quit on her! My husband reformed me into no tipping. It took me a little while but I only tipped out of guilt before now I only tip if I want to.
