The math question is certainly one major reason why I went to 20% shortly after 15% was declared not-enough. I'm still not sure *who* determined 15% was not-enough, and exactly when that was, but in any case 20% is easier enough to figure out than 15%, even (for someone mathematically challenged such as myself) that I figure it pays for itself in not-having-to-do-mathness.

I've been thinking about this for a couple days now
(slow week) and I've concluded that a 17% tip is
ridiculous. I mean, get a good meal and a couple of
glasses of wine in me and then... 17%? How do I figure
that out? I guess you take the total bill and divide
by 6 and add enough change to get to a round number,
but that's way too complicated.
Multiples of 5, always multiples of 5.
