I tip minimum 20%. Also, when I go to a place for multiple hours I tip based on how long I am taking up their table. For instance there is a sit down sports bar here that i meet my friends at to watch games. I don't drink so my tab is usually around $5-10 even if I am there for 4-5 hours. In those cases I tip $30-40 as I am costing the server money. I waited tables/bartended for years to support myself in college and in my band days and I know how much a big tip can make someone's day. Just want to point out server's in the US make $2-3 an hour.
