The other week, the one (young) (Thai) wife at the (Thai) restaurant where I work told me that nowadays there's tons of people tipping like $4 on a $35 bill, but you never used to see that; even like a year ago, you'd get people tipping $8 or even $10 on a $35 bill, but nowadays that doesn't happen, everyone just tips low.
"I wonder if it's a sign that the economy is getting bad again?", I was like, and I mentioned that prices are up everywhere, so maybe that's one of the only places that people can economize.
I also said that it didn't make sense to me, since 10-15% tips were something from when I was a child, it's been 15-20% tips for easily two decades now, so everyone should know that and be on board with it by now.
