My tips have been going down progressively, when I moved to the US I was taught 20% is "normal", now I tip 15% at MOST at restaurants and at MOST 5% on take out.
I'm tired of being shamed to pay more for less.
Also whoever was in charge of teaching staff to "turn away in shame" when the tipping screen is shown needs to go to some sort of gulag.

Why would you ever tip on take out? What are you tipping for exactly?
The people who cooked the food
Tipping is for personal service. Does the kitchen even receive any of the tip if you tip for takeout? I figured it would just go to the person who hands you the food. After all, if you dine in, the tip doesn't go to the kitchen.
