Agree. SidneyR Aug 2025 #41

She left almost exactly a 15% tip Hornedfrog2000 Aug 2025 #9

Exactly. LisaM Aug 2025 #47

I beg to differ... NewLarry Aug 2025 #36

15% is a crappy tip. Standard is 20%...it was 15 when I was a kid though. Lucky Luciano Aug 2025 #48

When it's a small bill, the % amount is still a small tip IronLionZion Aug 2025 #55

I have to agree with you on this sdfernando Aug 2025 #63
