That applies to everyone. Imagine how much we (in general) would dislike each other if we (in general) could follow each other around all day and everyday and see what each other does or does not do that we agree or disagree with.

Some people's deal breaker is tipping and they swear volcanoes errupt because of it. I have different deal breakers than tipping, some of which those who consider tipping a deal breaker may not have. Life keeps moving.

Based on this argument, at some point the tip will be 100%. Although I do believe in tipping, and do so, it is also true that it is not my responsibility if the waiter lives comfortably, has a car, has a coke problem to support, whatever.

And if you're a waiter at a place where the total bill might be $10, you're gonna be in a world of hurt. That's 2 people eating dinner at McDonalds, and you don't have to tip there.

Being a waiter is a sucky job at least partly because of the way they receive their income, but it's not my job to fix that. While in the US, I tip what I consider standard - 20% on the total not including the tax. I don't tip on tax.
