    I tip 20%+ if I can. Most workers are underpaid. I want to support my fellow workers.

      I also always tip 20% or more when I can. I think of it as solidarity. US workers are all vastly underpaid, especially waitstaff and anyone else they can get away with paying a “tipped wage” or whatever they call that lower minimum.

      I do hate mandatory “service fees” or other auto-tips though, because usually the management pockets most of that so it’s just another way to steal workers’ earnings.
