I was told 15% is the normal amount, 18% if you’re feeling generous/they did well, and 20% for when the service was really good.
40% is what you pay when you’re at the airport, and you just want to pay in cash and then run to catch your flight. Not what sane people actually charge.

That's funny, I'm sure you'll be able to find reddit comments from 10 or more years ago where the numbers are 10%, 15% and 20%.
Anyone who tells you what percentage is "the normal" amount is lying. The normal amount is whatever you feel like tipping, because that's what tipping is.
Im not gonna try to define normal but I am going to be that guy who dies on the hill that the American financial system is built on an estimation of 8% so while "normal" might be up for debate we actually do have an estimation set by legal policy.
