Suggested Tips 20-25%?

Is this normal in the US?

It used to be 15% was considered appropriate when I was a kid and there's no rational explanation for why it's increased. The economy is just fucking broken

Agreed, 15% was for standard service, 20% for exceptional service. Now you get scoffed at for a "mere" 20% tip and service is abysmal. It has put me off of dining out except for very special circumstances.
