if the service was less than satisfatory, they get less. If they piss me off or i have to wait a long time, they get a penny.
if they go out of their way and give exceptional service which makes my dining experience special, I'll tip up to 25%.
what drives me crazy is this tipping thing is getting out of hand.
At a local donut shop i go to every morning for a cup of coffee, they have a tip jar on the counter. WTF? A tip for selling me a cup of coffee across a counter? NFW.

Those people make like six bucks an hour.
I leave my loose change for them every time. I used to bartend when i got out of the service and was putting myself through trade school, so i understand their plight.
If you think you're expected to tip a lot, the expectation is twice as high within the industry. A good bartender or waitress will tip 30% plus.
