Yes. I’m not tipping someone who stands across a counter and hands me a bag.

Restaurant meals have also gotten quite expensive, however, my wages have not increased at nearly the level of inflation.

People who work for tips seems to expect 20-25% now rather than the more traditional 18%.

I believe the percentage should go down. I tip about 15% now unless the service is exemplary.

You must be younger than I am. The “traditional” tip I grew up with was 10%.

They hand you some tablet with 15% automatically showing for a tip. I’ve been in some restaurants (never went back) that added a “service fee” to the bill then under that write in the tip.
