Tipping in the USA.

Should you Tip in the USA?

Tipping is not mandatory in the United States, so there are no laws that govern how much gratuity should be paid.

That means it is generally up to you to decide how much of a tip to leave a server at a restaurant.

A Pre-tax tip of 15-20 percent is considered standard for service in sit-down restaurants.

In situations involving this voluntarily tip, the server has no legal standing to argue that a tip should have been paid or should have been greater because tips are voluntary, albeit they are customary and expected.

However, many people say it is compulsory and complain if the customer does not leave one of the “required tip amounts”.
