The difference is that in one case I'll spend more and be back often and the other I will not.
20-25%? You must be on crack. I am not giving a server a quarter of what my entire bill cost.

Agree. I tip 15% on the vast majority of my restaurant bills. Only rarely go up or down if the service calls for it.
With regards to other services, I tip what I feel like, but it is usually in the 5-10% range. This would include hair stylists, cabs etc.
edit- a somewhat relevant story- I was at a restaurant in Canmore with the in-laws after a drive from Kelowna. Mother in law insisted on picking up the bill (as a sort of repayment for picking up the gas bill to kelowna), but left a horrendous tip for what was just fine service. She didn't have a problem with the service or food, she is just a lousy tipper. Left about 5%. So, I waited for them to leave first and then topped up the tip to 15%. Maybe this was wrong of me?
