which is why I have no problem with tipping for good service but its gotten to the point now that 10-15% is expected for crappy-mediocre service, they should get 5 at most and I scale up to about 30 from there. Of course laziness is a factor also, we've left $40 on $23 bills just because we only had 20's and didnt want change, this was of course where we were regulars at the time.
