I rarely leave a bad tip, but if the service is just average or below... meaning, I've had to flag you down in a less than half full crowd to get a drink refill or something like that, you're just not trying. That tip is typically 15%.
Outside of that, I'm at least 20%... maybe 25% if you're just good at your job.
I tip the girl at Sports Clips 20% every time.
Now, tipping options are out of control with the new tablets/apps. If I'm driving through for coffee or fast food and all you're doing is turning around, grabbing my meal and handing it to me - no tip. If you really did nothing extra aside from just taking my order... there's nothing to tip.
Food prices are crazy - we're trying to be smarter and maybe we have pulled back on eating out a little bit, but not as much. Our issue is time to actually cook if we haven't planned for it.
