I always tip 20% tip wait staff regardless of service unless it was incredibly poor, but I simply haven't had terrible service in around a decade.
Businesses should pay their fucking workers, but until then, I feel it's only right to help them make sure they have a decent wage.
Reducing for terrible service I understand, but what about non-existent service? Someone only came by to refill a drink after I flagged them down and I had to chase down my check from some other person. Is that terrible service? Those aren't kitchen mistakes and I'm not some feudal lord that demands my servants' full attention - but that's literally their job. Would you tip 10% in that situation?
Naw, I'd probably still tip 20%. People who are shit at their jobs still gotta pay rent, utilities, buy food and some recreation and all that. You'd have to be downright rude to me to lose a tip.
While true, that’s not on you. That’s on the business
