The survey, conducted for CreditCards.com by GfK Custom Research North America, shows that 10 percent of millennials (ages 18-37) leave no tip for a server at a restaurant. Three percent of older diners do the same. The survey also found that men, Southerners, Westerners, parents with young children, lower earners and less-educated people tip less than the norm at restaurants.
