I am 37 and for better service I do tip 20%. I bussed at EBT in 88. I waited in Hawaii at many restaurants in '88-91. And, at Cork N Cleaver in '92.
My belief is that 15% is expected. 20% is deserved.
I do not consider a 10% tip on top of a 5% service charge a stiff.
My guess is that this is a way for the restaurant owner to pass along the extra cost of our cities communist policies to the patrons and allow them to make the decision if they want to tip more.
Quicksurfer: Do you get $10/hour and health bennies on top of your tips? hat is what the SF law is.
When I waited I got $2.01 an hour plus tips. If you are going to standardize the pay...what is the incentive to provide better service?
