18.5%? I live here in CA and have always done 15 but feel recently being forced into 20... but I could never calculate 18.5% in my head =)

- jamesaguilar 15y agoI like to keep it simple. 20% or 25% for fair to good or really great, 15% for poor service. I too don't like how people are trying to push this value up. But at the same time I have enough and I don't mind sharing some with a person who has just served me dinner.
- David 15y agoYou can do it pretty easily by successive halving. 10%, just move the decimal over add 5% which is just half of 10% add 2.5%, which is half of 5% and add 1%, moving the decimal over twice ...of course you either naturally think that way or it seems like an unreasonable amount of work. YMMV. Personally, I usually take 15% and add a bit depending on how good the service was.
