In Chicago it may not quite be 10%, but it's close. Both confirmed by my own experiences and a random office poll. General consensus is "it's getting bad fast".

I see tip begging no different than being asked for change on subway, and if I have to potentially deal with it either way I'll just take the cheaper option.
