Yes, I’m aware that the US custom is to pay poverty wages to restaurant workers and expect charity from the customers.

It is the custom yes.. I think, if you have worked a job like this (as many of us had growing up) that you will always try to tip when the option is available.. to do otherwise is a big fuck you to the service. If it's not a service though, that is a luxury (like having someone cook and serve for you), then it's not necessary.
Apps may be predatory, but .. that doesn't mean the solution is not to tip. Also, I'm old, maybe the culture is changing and food or drinks just fall from the sky like uber delivery magic.
I almost never tip less than 18%, 20% on exceptional service but 25% is a fuck you to the customers because it means someone in the middle is getting a cut. I’d rather leave a cash tip or pay the employee directly in bitcoin if they know what’s good.
for sure!! fuck those apps, tip what you want. anything over 15% is pure butter. cash tip is the best, or someday, sats.
now there is 'no tax on tips' so.. tipping should happen more not less, to take advantage. i think, zaps are tips, and they're nice right? lesss goooo ⚡⚡⚡
I don't judge, just stating the differences.
e.g. we tend to just round up in czech. It's not percentage. let's say 5 beers for 37 czk is 185, so you choose 190 or 200.
