I never tip an actual percentage, it's always even dollars, not sure why since it's all electronic now. But I know I do tend to tip fairly well.

However if I receive poor service, I will make a point to tip nothing or very little. If it's bad enough I have been known to leave a handful of pennies.

I remember one time I was out with my now ex and we went into this restaurant and the hostess took us to our table, grabbed our drinks and gave us menus, the waitress took our order and someone from the kitchen brought us our food. Not once did the waitress check on us, in fact we never saw her again until she was dropping off the bill after we were done. So I threw a handful of pennies on the table and took my bill to pay. We weren't even 10 paces away and the waitress already there to collect her tip and made a point to try and call me out on the pennies, to which I called her out on her ####ty service saying if she wanted a tip she should actually work for it and made a point to tip the hostess well and ask the hostess to give another top to the girl who brought our meals.
