For me it’s do the 10% quick math then double. I never tip less than 20% even if someone is not great just because people have shit days in customer service (my field). If they’re great I go up from there and leave a nice message of appreciation. They never hear praise enough.

Plus if you end up going back they won’t forget stellar tips and you will get priority/better seating/treated more like a friend which is always nice. Ex. For work we frequent a great local BBQ place that also serves a rotating selection of local brews. One waitress is amazing and always treats us well. Can’t say the good tips we leave are the reason but I’m sure it doesn’t hurt.
