Married to an ex-waitress, now a psychiatrist. Doesn't matter if it's a diner or a Michelin 4 star... less than 20% (unless something was seriously wrong with the wait staff) and you are a piece of shit. Welcome to the Midwest, we take take of our own...
And definitely deduct the tax before the tip. They all get that....

First, you may tip 20% but I doubt it is the standard. How can you possibly know what all other people in your region tip?
Second, tipping tends to go up with the consumption of alcohol. So if the standard in the midwest is really 20% as you say, then could it be that you guys and gals drink a wee bit more than regions with a 15% tipping standard?
