[quote=Anonymous]I always tip 20-25% (and always rounding up change to make an even dollar amount). If the service is subpar I tip 0% and leave a note or speak to the manager about the service. I always make sure they know when I'm unhappy with the service because I'm black and am constantly fighting the false narrative that we don't tip well, so don't want there to be any confusion. Sometimes I wonder if my service is subpar BECAUSE the server assumes that I won't tip, but that could also be in my head.

The few times I've tipped well over the norm was 1. tipped an extra $100 for movers who were able to move me last minute due to a no-show for the scheduled movers, 2. tipped $60 on a $45 bill because I was tipsy and wrote the total on the wrong line. I was in good spirits, so I left it. 3. when I went to the Nordic in Rhode Island when restaurants just started opening back up in the summer of 2020. My server was amazing and had told me about how COVID had impacted her personally when restaurants closed (I asked) so I tipped her an additional 25% on top of the standard 10% built-in gratuity[/quote]
