The US made it legal to pay tipped employees basically no wage (like pennies an hour). Tipping is stupid but if you don’t do it the employee is basically unpaid.
I’d split the difference by just paying them based on my estimation of the time and effort they spent. The cost of the thing I bought should have no bearing. This notion that the tip should be 15/18/20% or whatever of your final bill is idiotic.

Not everywhere anymore, California made that shit illegal a year ago and it’s fucking great to slap that in the face of every fucking cunt trying to clap me an asshole for not tipping 20% on an $80 bill for someone who couldn’t keep my drink filled
I feel like that’s what the percentage was meant to approximate. Because more people in a party are likely to have a larger bill and will definitely be more work. Of course there are more variables and one constant percentage won’t always result in the same reasonable wage for their work.
