> Now it's crept up to 15-20% and spread to a lot of jobs that you didn't think of for tips
...And, importantly, there's no way to actually know this because it's all informal.
I keep hearing that some places are now expecting 25% tips, while others are still repeating the older 15-20% figure. Some transportation workers (cab drivers, hotel courtesy van drivers) expect tips—others, in exactly the same job but a different company, don't expect them or even refuse them.
The informality of it all is one of the biggest reasons why tipping culture needs to die, and be replaced with actually paying workers a fair amount to start with.
