Don't get me wrong, I do tip well when the service is good, and wouldn't stiff someone over petty things. But I don't like the servers who seem to assume they are automatically entitled to 15 or 20% for just doing a base job. 9 times out of 10, I'll probably tip 20-25%, and I'll often throw a couple of dollars into the tip pool when I pickup takeout at a place like Fratellos that knows me well and always makes sure I'm in and out quickly.

Other times when my drink is empty so long the ice melts and evaporates, it's highly probable the server will see 9-10%.
