[quote=Anonymous]Let's pretend for a moment that 22-25% actually is now standard for very good service (it's not, but stay with me).

How often do you actually get very good service?

Because for me, it's rare. I get adequate service most places, which means I received my order without having to wait an unreasonable amount of time and it was correct. But this also often means the waitstaff was rude or indifferent, the restaurant/cafe was not as clean as I'd like, the ambiance was poor, etc. And then there are the places where people are not just rude but very unpleasant, where my order is incorrect, where I am expected to wait an unreasonable amount of time or where basic services (water, flatware) are never brought.

I can count on one hand the number of service experiences I've had in the last couple years that I think earned the top end of whatever the tipping range is, and I definitely tipped over 20% in this situations because it was exceptional service. But most service is just adequate (18-20%), and sometimes it's truly bad, in which case you are honestly fortunate if you get a tip at all.[/quote]
