Double the tax as a standard (9.5% here in WA). So 19%. Sometimes I'll go 25-30% if it's exceptional service.

I must admit, I sometimes like it in places like Europe where there's NO gratuity. 17% service fee is just baked into the bill, and no agonizing over .

Yeah, I loved your post, and tried to respond to a couple comments, but it looked like I went comment crazy on your post. My bad. I'm just really passionate about tipped professions! :)

I usually tip the tax which is 13% here. It seems like that's too low according to previous posts. If the service was superb, I'll tip higher. My thoughts on tipping is that it should be given only if the service is good. I've received some really bad service in the past and feel that someone shouldn't be rewarded for bad behaviour. Yell
