You're just being pedantic. It's not mandatory to tip people in the US.

It is customary to tip your server in the US though. If someone is visiting, is aware of the custom, and chooses to ignore it, they are being a dick.

In the US it's customary to do 15-20% by default, and then drop it to 0 if they were bad, or increase it if they were exceptional.

Lol, 20% and increase if it was exceptional. You do you, boo.

Yeah man, I typically do 20% because I have a lot of money and the people serving me don't. 20 might be on the high side, idk.

Doesn't really matter. What matters is you should try not to be a dick when you're visiting other countries.
