Also, another thing that a friend of mine who tended bar for many years mentioned the other day: the expected tip seems to have gone up a LOT in recent years. When I was growing up I seem to recall ~10% being standard, 15% if the service was great. Now 10% is virtually stiffing, 15% is decent and 20% seems standard. Is this just me? The expectations have gotten a bit much even if I tend to overtip because I feel for service industry folks.
