Yes, there are arrogant servers who don't do anything to better your experience and expect a 20% minimum tip. I can see how that would be frustrating to many. There's also a lot of servers who work their asses off and get treated like absolute crap by the clientele. When this discussion comes up, it's so easy to tell the people who have worked in the industry, from the people who have never stepped close to it.
To get tipped 0% or to try and make a statement with leaving a penny, the service in my mind has to be absolutely atrocious and to the point where you're never going back to that establishment again.
15% if the service is as average as can be and so is the food. I'll usually tip 18-20% for most service and then if it's a place I go to a lot or know the people working it's usually around 25%

I refuse to tip when I get take out. Wtf am I tipping? I paid for my food. I'm coming to get it.
