Always tip 20% or more for good service. A good waiter is like a tour guide/sales person. When I go to a nice place to eat, they can tell me what dishes are really good at this establishment, Which wines to try... etc. my wife and I appreciate being served. We have both worked in jobs where we serve other people, so we know how hard that job can be. If the service is poor then I still tip, but not as much. For regular restaurants and pizza/beer places I still tip well, especially if they are cute. Wife calls me shallow Hal. Breakfast places where the waiters don't make much I try to over tip and make their day. Can't imagine trying to make it on what those places pay.
