It's usually 15% for good and 20% for excellent service.

If a waiter or waitress goes out of his or her way, I always give them a couple of extra dollars.

It has existed as far back as I can remember, but, I cannot tell you why servers are simply not paid decent salaries.

It's a huge thing in the US. Not so much here in the UK. You can tip if you want to, but usually a 'service charge' is added on the bill. It took me a while to get used to the 'expected' tipping in the US, now I'm back in the UK I still tend to tip everyone, hairdresser, wait staff, etc even though they all earn more an hour than what I do! It's a habit I need to break!

It used to be, in the US, you didn't tip the owner, but my former hairdresser never told me that :)

She did give me a frosting with a cut, at that time, when I was looking for a new job. She told me I couldn't interview with roots.

Got the job! Normally, I wouldn't have had roots showing.

Here is another way of looking at it: Just imagine how shitty the waiter would usually treat you if they didn't have to kiss your ass for a tip.

i would take a dump in your mashed potatoes
