I know tipping is a custom that varies significantly (along with included gratuities and service charges) from state to state, and country to country. That said, this is my outlook in tipping:

At the restaurant:

1. If you provide excellent service, have some charisma, and everything is generally pleasurable, I will always tip 20% on large tabs.

2. If service is not that great, but the person is still polite, I'll tip 10-15%.

3. If things are really just a fuckup, I'll have management replace my server. I've done this more than once and it works wonders, especially if the establishment is good, and it's just the server that sucks.

4. If you complain about your tip, I will tell you to fuck off.

At the bar:

If I get my beer within a reasonable amount of time, I tip $1/beer - always.

If you pour me strong drinks all night, I'll tip you $20 or so, and do some shots with you.

If you poor watered down bitch drinks, you get a watered down tip.

Like many here, I was also a server and bartender for awhile. Fact is, there are many honest, hardworking people who work in the service industry, just trying to make a living for themselves. In many states in the US, their "wages" are $2-4/hr, because the restaurants decide the employees can just live off their tips - WHICH THEY OFTEN REQUIRE THEM TO CLAIM FOR TAXES.....gay.

So, if you tip generously when service is optimal, you're helping honest people keep an honest job. Don't be a fucking scrooge over this shit, and it will come full circle in due time, I promise.
