The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
No, 20-25% is not the new normal. It isn't my fault those on the wait staff made terrible choices in life.
20% absolutely. The service has to be utterly unforgivable for me to tip less than 20%. I think I've only done it like twice in my entire life. I start at 20%. I'll go higher if the service is exceptional.
An enigma of a man shaped hole in the wall between reality and the soul of the devil.

i usually stick with 20% unless i know them. if the tab is low i'll usually tip more.
I am getting pretty sick of every business having a tip jar. Im not fucking tipping you for putting donuts in a box. waiters make less than minimum wage.

Agreed. Plus, you just move the decimal point once and double, after a proper night out this fact is handy.

This is what I stick to. I usually give more to trainees or people we can tell are new, even if the service is rough.

Same.
I'm even that asshole who will slip a tip even if someone else is picking up the check. If I think they aren't tipping enough, I'll find a way to put more down for the poor gal/guy.

The other day, the delivery guy at my favorite pizza place was sick, so one of the owners came up to deliver the pizza himself (I live three blocks away). I was caught off-guard and didn't know whether to tip him or not. I mean, he's bringing me pizza, but... he's also one of the owners. I panicked and threw some money at him.

I did this last night..We have friends in town from Australia and Brazil and went to dinner last night...7 of us..The Aussies picked up the bill and he noticed a 15% tip already added for parties of 6 or more and left it at that..the service was great so I stayed behind as we were all leaving and threw down another $20
