What do you tip your waiter? On average.

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

It is, but since waiters recieve tips, they're exempt from that law. They're usually paid ~$3 an hour.

I know but the owner is responsible for making sure they make full minumum wage, and I am arguing that you have no obligation to follow the legal mandate of minumum.
