And I will give a $2 tip on a $7 beer if the situation is right. But to expect it, no way.
My standard is 15%. I go up to 20% if the service is good, and usually don't go below 10% if the service sucks. One thing I've seen; many people used to do "double the GST" to figure out 14%, and just the other day I had to correct a buddy who was going to leave 12% for a waitress who did an awesome job. We left her 20%- or just over $40. I can imagine the waitress who started to serve us but had a bad attitude and turned us over was probably ticked.
