I haven't read the whole thread yet, but here's my take:

I, as a standard, tip 15%, if the service is good.

If the service is above good or outstanding, then I tip 20%. In all honesty, I've only ever tipped 20% or more, at a few Calgary restaurants (Cattle Baron).

If the service is poor, then I tip 10%.

I've ONLY ONCE tipped nothing. It was horrible service. Even the manager called to apologize. Can I say the restaurant?

And what's with Subway and take-out places asking for a tip on the debit machine or having a jar nearby? What? You want me to tip you for picking up my own food? Come on!
