I give a fairly standard 20% tip for average "doing your job" service.
If you impress me, I go pretty high.
Make my drinks strong? You'll be rolling in dough by the end of the night. ;)
Those people live off those tips, so I have a soft spot for that. In fact one time at a restaurant/bar in Seattle (Six Arms, for those in the know), I overheard a waiter complaining to another how a table completely ignored the tip on like a 150.00 dollar order. I felt so bad for him that I tipped my tip and then an additional percentage of 150.00 for the other table...
I just hate seeing people bust ass (which they were, it was a busy night) and seeing people suffer for a piece of shit who's too cheap to eat out properly.
As for the list in the original post...*sigh*, it's embarrassing to me that people do that stuff. Manners are the first thing a parent should be teaching. If you don't have that much, your parents sucked.
