Some of the POS machines have all the audacity. I've seen 20% as the minimum tip, with 25% and 30% as other options. After tax of course.

I used to tend bar, so made minimal (usually below minimum wage) salary and the rest was tips. Service people work for their money, and have to put up with the general public which sucks. I tip pretty well.

But I notice the same thing, there are places that are essentially fast food, where they make a living wage, and don't "serve" (like a waiter, waitress, bartender) but then the machine starts with a 20% tip and goes up from there. WTF
