Ok, I guess I'm going to get clubbed over the head for saying this, but I question the whole obligatory tip notion.
I work all day and no-one ever tips me. Why not, I do a hell of a good job! If you're not getting paid well enough, take it up with your boss. I know it's the way this service works, but why? You work in the place, you get a pay-check. So tell me, why do I have to tip you?
I usually tip 10-20% by the way. In Portugal about 10% is the expected amount.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
