I agree with both tis & chipj29. We always leave 20% when my wife & I dine alone. If the waitress is extremely bad we will leave 15%. When, on those special times, our 2 daughters, their husbands & our 4 grandchildren come up from NJ & we go out to dinner I tip a minimum of 25% & have tipped as high as 33% when the waitress really goes out of her/his way to take care of us, especially the kids who range in age from 10 down to 4. By the way they are really good when we do go out.

We tend to favor several favorite restaurants & when the wait staff knows you dining out is really fun. Some know us so well they just bring our drinks to the table before we order.
