    It depends. I never tip less than 20%, I've been known to drop a five on a cup of coffee if I'm just there to drink coffee and read a newspaper though.

    I live in a country that pays their servers well, so tipping is not necessary.

    I tip less than 20 for *kitten* service, average service gets 20, goes up from there. Bartenders usually do better :)

    Most of the time above 20%. Every once in a while if it's deplorable service and not because of the kitchen or busy I've been known to tip 0%, but it's rare.

    10% for abysmal service
    15% for meh service
    18-20% for average/good service
    up to 25% for exceptional service

    Though for some reason I always seem to tip hair cutters about 35%

    Always 20%, and sometimes more if the service is exceptional. But when the service is absolutely terrible (which is pretty rare), then maybe 10%.

    Generally right at 20%. Been known to go as high as 30.

    Worked for tips myself in the service industry so almost always tip as above. In some cases, Inhave left nothing but I tell the person directly why. Some apologies and some get pissy, like I owe them for crappy service. Meh...

    To be honest, here in Ireland, we just leave a little extra, but there's no " set " percentage.
    I'd say usually works out around the 10% mark though.

    From a family of many Servers and knowing that they make $3 an hour and that they depend on tips to make ends meet, I am an excellent tipper closer to 30% and even more if the service was outstanding! I know that the some Servers often share their tips with the Bussers and also give a cut to the Cooks! I will however leave only 10% to sub par service and if the service is bad, on rare occasion I will leave a note on my bill explaining why I left no tip!

    Having been a server many years ago I tend to tip really well for really good service. If service is average I leave 20 % and if it is horrible I tend to leave less.

    I tip about 22.5%, but only because I double the tax which in this area is 11.25%.
    If the service is bad, I don't ever go back.
