As the daughter of a man who would buy over $120 worth of food for four people and leave $1 worth of quarters on the table, I have always made it a point to tip.
I usually tip %20 for good service and %25-%30 for exceptional service. I try to be understanding and will sometimes give a %10- %15 tip if I get less than good service. I have had one or two incidents where the waiter/waitress was downright rude (maybe because they assumed because I was black I was not a good tip), and they got nada, but they had to show their *ss not to get a tip.
Most of my friends are good tippers, but there are some of us who are just trifling when it comes to spending money that we aren't forced to.
