I never tip based on arbitrary notions of what to give.

I base it entirely on need. In some situations, I give $2-3 USD if it's a minor meal. However, I've tipped up to 100% if I feel the waiter/waitress really needs it.

In Ohio, wages for a tipped employee are $3.15 USD, whereas minimum wage is closer to $7.00 USD. I try to make sure that's reached when I eat a meal somewhere.

Isn't minimum wage an arbitrary notion mandated bby congress.  maybe congress should mandate gratuity
