Do people actually consciously make a judgement about quality of service when they tip??!

I always just mindlessly add 15-20%. So the whole "tipping incentivizes quality of service" argument has always seemed unrealistic to me.

15-20% is generally insulting to a waiter. I’m not saying this from a position where I’m trying to convince you to change or agree :) but 20% tells them they did a bad job. That’s just the culture.
