Hi, I'm Canadian. I lived in the States for ~3 years and now visit once every few years. I tip on the same scale, regardless of where I am. By default, I start at 0%. I will tip between 0% and 40%, depending on the quality of the service and the establishment. The average for me is probably 15-20%. I recognize that waiters/waitresses are generally paid very poorly, but having bad minimum wage laws isn't enough to guilt me into paying extra. I didn't agree to that and it's stupid to expect people to commit to paying invisible fees before they've even sat down.
