When I get a haircut, I usually do about 20%. I don't know if this is standard or not, but it usually seems to be about enough for me. As for things like Sonic, I never tip. I just don't see it as necessary. Places that have tip jars, I sometimes tip, sometimes don't. It really just depends on my mood rather than feeling like I "need" to. Employees in those types of places don't rely on tips to bring their wages up to at least minimum, and it seems like every where I go there are tip jars popping up. Tipping seems to have become a huge guessing game...who to tip, who not to tip. It can definately be confusing.
