I’m so lost on how to tip anymore. I remember back when 12% pre-tax was considered a really good tip, but now the kiosks recommend 20-25% (which is usually ON TOP of tax).

I already don’t tip anywhere I’m not sitting down with service, but 20-25% is crazy when I’m just trying to get fed.

When I eat in at a restaurant (excluding places with no waiters or service), 15% is my standard tip. I choose the percentage on the payment machine, so I assume it’s on top of the tax. When I order take-out, I don’t tip at all.

I’m curious how much you guys tip (if at all) for things outside the restaurant industry. For example, taxis.

Good taxis get tips, mediocre taxis don’t. Luckily for my wallet, most taxi drivers suck.
