Personally dont agree with this "when in Rome thing". There are many countries that have very bad "cultural" things. Doesn't make them right. In some cases they are VERY wrong.

Shame that service is not good anymore - even in good restaurants - as basically chucking food at you. You now get the bare minimum service for a much increased tip. If they know they are...

Then they should no longer have tips at all and just include it in the meal cost. Actually be honest and fair about it. It really is that simple.

I can relate to this :)

Think I might implement the 10% rule - like it or lump it. Though not if the service is poor. I dont get rewarding them for poor service - seems daft.

We started going to the USA in the late 80s and it was 10%. So it looks like the expected %age has more than doubled since the 70s if it was 8%.
They are having a laugh.
