10. My tips always start at 20% ...
It'll go up from there to 30% for exceptional service or down to 15% for terrible service. Even if the waitstaff is terrible, they still have to eat <... I either pay through the tip or through my taxes.>

And having been a waiter, I ALWAYS TIP IN CASH. I can't tell you how many $300 credit card paid for meals resulted in $10-25 dollar tip pay-outs at the end of the night. I recall quitting at least 3 jobs saying: "HEY RESTAURANT OWNER: Make your money off your food, not my tips [that I still have to pay taxes on." .
