"Learn to farking type".

I start at 20% as well (for foodservice), but it's much easier to convince me to drop that figure than it is to raise it. And if it's really screwed up, I've got no qualms w/ no tip. I get no psychological warm n' fuzzy from leaving a tip.

Bartenders -- always 20%, even if they suck. As a former drinkslinger, it made a difference to me when I was well tipped, and good tippers got much better/faster attention -- w/ more buybacks. It's also the closest relationship to the person that actually made what you ordered, in addition to taking your order and cleaning up after you.

As for coffee drones or dry cleaners (I couldn't believe it when I saw that one), no. I confess I throw a buck into the bathroom attendant's basket at the clubs. (He's usually got good drugs).
