I remember 10%. DISCRETIONARY!. Now it’s freaking almost mandatory.

I had a server approach me after we tipped 15% and said “was there something wrong? Because I didn’t get the tip I was supposed to get?”

Excuse me? Supposed to get? It’s a TIP, it’s not guaranteed, or (to be totally honest) usually deserved for the quality of service. You refilled our drinks once, and brought our food out. Cool, you did your fucking job. Why am supposed to give you extra money for doing literally the bare minimum that is expected of you in your role as a server?

Just the other day, my husband and I splurged and got takeout. He went to go pick it up, and the front staff was like passively aggressive about him leaving a tip. For a takeout order! It's honestly getting out of hand.

Had someone upset I didn't tip when buying gift cards.
