OP here. I agree that for table service 20% is appropriate in most cases. To me counter service is the gray area.

These employees are making $12-15+ and hr..not really sure what the tips are for
$5 in DC plus tips, minus tip out to bartender and busser, minus taxes.
PP is referring to counter service workers.

Cheapskate. 20 percent unless for extraordinarily poor service, in which case complain.
They aren't my employee. It is a tip.

By poor service, I hope you mean the server dumped food on you and sat in your husband's lap. Because that's the only way I'm tipping a measly 10%.

The same way I tip, is how they should tip.

20% pretax for good service and 20% post tax for better service. Easy.

You mean you calculate 10% of the total by moving the decimal to the left and from there you can easily find 15 or 20%.

Sit down restaurants, 20% without fail.
Counter service at a place with the tip option at check out, 10%.
Don't waste money on delivery services like Door Dash.

Your teen should tip exactly as you do, which is hopefully 20%. It’s no less work for the server to wait on a teen than an adult.
