I think this is a good rule of thumb. I usually tip when I go to a coffee shop, because the employees are usually very friendly, and very busy as well, and tend to be very prompt and courteous.
My friends and I rented a hotel room for New Years once, and between all the pizza boxes, beer and liquor bottles, and wet towels from the pool...the place was quite a mess. We all pitched in and left a tip for the maid, because we knew she'd be cussing us when she saw the room.
