I try to tip in the 15% range, rounding off to an even sum of money if the service is acceptable. Acceptable service isn't really much either, be friendly, answer my questions, get me my drinks quickly, get my order right and get it to me in a reasonable amount of time, or at least let me know if it'll be a little longer and check up on me once in a while. Serving is a damn hard job, as a lot of people here know. I don't really expect the same amount of attention on a busy Saturday night when my server probably has 5 other tables, but if it's a slow night, there's no excuse for my server to be invisible. If I get great service, I'll tip great, especially if I plan on coming back. Your reputation as a good or bad tipper will precede you as a repeat customer. If you tipped badly for good service once, chances are you won't get good service the next time, why should the server waste his/her time on you when they could be serving the good tippers?
