For decades, the standard in restaurants has always been 15% for good service. Somehow over the last 10-15 years, it has become 18%-20%. How and why did that happen. I generally tip 15%. If the service was especially excellent I go 20% and if there was a problem 10%.

We went out for Indian food yesterday. While researching Indian restaurants, I came across one that automatically adds 15% service fee to your bill. I will not go there because of that.
