I’m in the US where 15-20% is customary, so 18% at the top end is pretty low. The system is shit, but I’m not going to impact anyone’s livelihood because I disagree with it.
It was always 10-15%, but they’ve managed to edge that upwards over the years. You used to be a hero if you tipped 20%, now they look at you like you just stiffed them.
10% is customary. If you really liked the service. Anything above that is an excuse for host not to pay decent wages. So he can fuck right off.

The employer that is paying the shitty wage wants you to feel this way.
Yeah but stiffing a waiter isn’t going to magically make the employer pay a fair wage.
But that’s on the employer, right? Shitty employers want you think it’s your responsibility as a customer to ensure a fair wage.
That’s exactly how the system is perpetuated
