The price of the food goes up with inflation so even thou the percent may be the same, the ammount tiped goes up anyway due to the bill being higher.

In Aus it's not customary to tip unless the service is really good, because (for the moment at least) waitstaff make decent money. I've never understood why they aren't paid better in the US because from what I can work out you don't pay any less for your meal!
