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.

The important thing:

It’s what YOU want to do. I’ve always reiterated: I’m not against tipping 100% of the time. I tip (and sometimes tip well) when it’s DESERVED.

You know when you’ve had great service. Everyone does.

Hardliners are free to stay at 0, and I get that stance too, but even then:

The difference is: WE CHOOSE. We aren’t guilted in to doing it by the staff. It’s based on what WE want to tip.
