The people who receive tips will always lean towards a higher tipping percentage regardless if they deserve it or not. Personally, I tip based on service. If you provide good service you get 15%. If you provide substandard service you get less and it is heavily dependent on attitude. If you provide poor service and you're a C U Next Tuesday then I will tip an insulting amount. If you provide above average service then I will tip 20%.

There is not the wage disparity between servers and minimum wage that exists in the United States. In some states servers' minimum wage is 1/3 of regular minimum wage. Maybe it should be that way here. Whenever I've traveled in the United States I always receive better service than anything I could receive in Calgary.

Also, I do not tip on takeout or at coffee shops. When I'm doing my job correctly no one stops by my desk to drop off some change. Why should I give you extra money because you did your job?
