I bartended for about 5 years, so I tend to tip good. It's not that hard on me (honestly, how much does an extra $1-2 hurt) and helps make up for the azzholes that stiff on the tip.

I tip 20-50% depending upon what I've spent when I'm being served. Let me explain the 50%. I've been someplace and spent $6 or $7 on lunch. If someone waited on my for almost an hour, I think they deserve a minimum of $3-4. I sure as hell wouldn't wait on someone for $.90 or $1.20 for a whole meal.

When I go someplace to pick up take out, I'll sometimes write in a tip of something like $1.50 (whatever rounds the bill up to a nice round number), but I don't think it's necessary to tip on take out.
