[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all the extra surcharges being added to bills, coupled with a lot of lackadaisical service I've been getting, for the first time in YEARS I am SOMETIMES tipping just 15%.  I'm still tipping 20% for good service, but if I'm getting lousy service AND having to pay an automatic 3%+ surcharge on my bill, then 15% is as good as I'm going to tip.[/quote]

This is the crazy part to me as well.  We were always 20%+ before the pandemic and usually skew towards 25%.  Now the service is so lousy in some places that we go down to 15-20% and feel bad about it.  I'm talking service so bad most people wouldn't tip the person.  So while tipping expectations have continued to increase, quality of service continues to decrease.

For all of you that say you should tip for pouring a cup of coffee--do you tip the guy at 7-11 if he pulls a piece of pizza out of the warmer for you?  If not, where is the line?  I'm not giving someone the equivalent to a 25% tip for pouring me a cup of joe when I'm already spending $4 for it.[/quote]
