Tipping based on service is how it should be. Tipping based on percentage makes no sense and I don’t know why it’s normalized. #receipt #tipping

It's $20 a good tip, because there's a lot of people out there that will look at this receipt and tell you that I left a bad tip. Like $20 isn't enough. If this server is making $2.13, that's the minimum wage for servers. If they're making $2.13, and I just tip them $20, that means that they made $22.13 in an hour. $22 an hour, and just from my table, they're also getting tips from other tables. People will literally look at me and be like, "Oh, you're a cheapskate, you tip $20. You're supposed to tip more than that. That's not enough." First of all, you don't know how the service was. You don't know if it was good service, you don't know if it was bad service. But even if it was good service, I feel like $20 is fair. I'm not going to tip based on the price of the food that I ordered. I'm going to tip based on the service that I was given, and she was really good, so I think she deserves $20.
