How much do you usually tip the waitstaff when dining out?

15 to 30% depending. I try to go more now that the pandemic is hurting them.

20 % or more. I was a waitress for many years. They are underpaid and rely on tips.
Every other country in the world doesn’t tip, but in the US, I tend to leave $15 or $20 because I feel bad for their low wages. I don’t eat out often, and when I do it’s rather little. So that is more than expected.

At least 20%, when it's clear a waitperson is even [i]trying[/i] to give good service. A little less, when they clearly are not.

If the service is great and the wait staff pleasant, 15%. Food is good but the wait staff mediocre, 10%

5 - 10 % of the total bill, if there's no service charges

15% rounded up, sometimes 20%

Depends on the service
