Same.

And to whomever said it was "ignorance" which allowed people to tip 15%, as they have no idea what it's like to be a waiter, I think you're sorely mistaken.

If I wanted to be in charge of a waiter's pay and be concerned whether they were being paid enough, I'd own a fucking restaurant.

A tip is a gift, an acknowledgment that someone did something to make me more comfortable that they weren't otherwise obligated to do. I tip 15-20%, but it's not because I know or even CARE how much they're getting paid. How much they're getting paid is not my concern; how I want to SPEND my money, is, however.. and I will tip based on quality of service.
