How much should you tip in Texas 🇺🇸?

In Texas, tipping culture is quite prevalent and is seen as a way to appreciate the service provided by the staff. The general consensus is to tip around 20% for dine-in services, with some individuals tipping as much as 25-30% for exceptional service. For takeout, it's common to tip around 10%, as the staff often have to prepare and package the food. However, tipping for takeout is not universally agreed upon and some people choose not to tip for this service. Some Texans also tip more generously for services that go above and beyond, such as staff who form a personal connection with customers or provide special attention to their needs. It's also worth noting that some Texans tip a minimum amount (e.g., $5 or $10) regardless of the bill total, especially when dining alone or ordering a small meal.
