How much does FC tip when eating out?

I am a measly tipper unless there is a reason to - like over and beyond service. 

My wife isn’t necessarily a fan of me doing that. Can someone convince me otherwise?

As a former bartender/server, I’m an over tipper. I rarely tip under 20% and if service is good I go up from there. 

Service staff (in US at least) make less than minimum wage with the understanding that tips will make up that difference so I only hold back in instances of extremely poor service.

There are specific minimum wage laws for each state & federal with tipped workers having a lower rate. Check your state  for specifics— here’s FL.

thanks.

 is there data which shows service staff make less than minimum wage?

🤝 As a pedicabber (largely its all "tips") I do the same. If I have an income, I never tip under 30%. Even though I've been unemployed half the year, I'm still tipping 25% on the rare occasion i eat out.
