Be excellent to each other
I am not American.
When I first dined in US restaurant, I was flabbergasted with the fact that the cashier pulled out a tablet and already have five buttons ready to be tapped - 12%, 15%, 18%, CUSTOM TIP.
That no tip button was below the four prominent buttons.
No, I have never seen this in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and of course Indonesia where I live.
Talk about devide and conquer tactics.
Just avoid tipping places, and the market will sort itself out
And before you have a melt down, just remember that food and drink out where tipping is required is the definition of discretionary spending, you will be fine.
At this point I’ve stopped tipping. However I don’t like random numbers so when I checkout at restaurants I round to the nearest $5. So if my meal was $32.45 I’ll tip $2.55.
For me it’s a fun math game and the percentage for the tip is low.
