I tip 15% pretty much always, obviously if the server goes out of their way to help me more than usuall then they'll get a better tip accordingly and the adverse applies as well if they do only the bare minimum y would tip them anymore then the bare minimum i feel acceptable (generally 10%).
I see no need to complain about this style of tipping as i worked as a busser at a pizza establishment where i picked up the dishes and cleaned the tables brought customers anything extra they required and occasionally brought them their food the only thing i never had to do was bring them drinks (although for older people i offered to refill them). While having to provide these services i was also repsonsible for the keeping the dining area clean and the kitchen equipment and cleaning the dishes. There was seldom more than 1 busser and never more than 2 and guess how much i was tipped? Usually, well almost always nothing and if anything 1 or 2$ even though i did more than was necessary to please the customers which was providing a service very similar to waiting. Although their minimum wage is lower people almost never dont tip waiters at a restaurant unless they truly dont deserve it in which case the only person they should complain to is themselves. So if you get between 10 tables to wait you should be able to make plenty of money a day to keep a pretty decent living.
