Starting at 13, I've worked all my life including the first 7-8 years in kitchen/serving/bartending positions at two different country clubs. Both of our kids have served and bartended as starter jobs. We're comfortable enough but if we choose to go out at a restaurant, we order knowing we'll add 20% for good service. Only lately have we started adding less tip when we get especially bad service. 20% is the default or we don't go out to eat.
