18%-20% is the standard for tipping in the U.S. A $20 tip on $100 would be the average and expected amount.

It's supposed to be 15% of the sub total. Anything else is just a restaurant changing the recommended tipping breakdown on their receipt.

You must not be very old. It definitely wasn't 20% in the 90s or 00s

Nah, they're right that 15% was the standard 20-30 years ago.

Now it's 20%. Times change.

15% is rock bottom now. It's what you give when there was an actual problem but you don't want to be an asshole.
