| Where i live, the minimum wage is 6.15/hr, but for waiters and others who earn a large part of their income from tips the minimum wage is only 3.13/hr. Therefore, when you don't tip me i am not making anywhere near minimum wage. This is why you are expected to tip. If you weren't expected to tip, the cost of your meal would go up by at least $5 anyway. |

20% standard.
25% is higher than average, and 15% is so 1990's. |

You'd be surprised. Most people tip under 20%. 15% or so is about average and it is not uncommon, especially on large checks, for people to tip under 10%. |

Possibly where you live (Carolinas, right?), the cost of living and earning potential is lesser than average - so is the common tipping percentage out there. |

| When I was in Miami Beach for WMC, a lot of places I went to had included the tip into the bill. Their reason was "We get a lot of European tourists and they don't understand the concept of tipping." :wtf: |

In Miami Beach, you're expected to drop heavy cash. The tip INCLUDED in a bill is called "gratuities", which is usually 25% of the actual bill. It's basically, a gentler version of " you - have a nice day", because gratuities are meant to be paid separately from an actual tip.
CliffNotes: With gratuities at restaurants, you're tipping the server on the bill. Then, you're commonly expected to leave a separate "tip" to the server, as well.
:wtf:
This is common in some chain and most finer restaurants. With chain restaurants, gratuities may be required and added to your bill, when you have many guests seated at your table - every restaurant has their standards. Finer restaurants require gratuity like it's tradition, since spending money is the only thing rich people know how to do with their lives. |

Wow, glad I decided not to tip on top of the "bill tip" then. Guess they must've thought I was an , lol. |

So, that's exactly how it works here. |
