I usually always tip at least 20%. Many waiters/waitresses are college students who need this money to pay for their education.

I will tip more (like 50%) if the waiter/waitress hooks us up. For instance, if they give us our drinks for free or give a discount.

I will tip 15% if I'm not impressed by the service.

There has only been once where I've tipped under 15%. I was at Friday's and the waitress was really rude to us. There was a table of guys next to us who were giving her a really hard time. Unfortunately, this put her in a bad mood but this does not entitle her to take it out on other customers. She was snotty, the food took forever (and was cold when she brought it to us), and she rolled her eyes back when my friend asked for more sour cream. On a $30 bill, we tipped her a quarter and we wrote on the bill "Check your attitude!".
