I don't believe in standard 15% tipping. It's not a gift. It's an expression of appreciation for value received. Or something like that.
I've tipped a lot more, and I've tipped ZERO. You have to exceptionally suck to get ZERO, incidentally.
The one I always have trouble with is ... how much do you give the valet parking guy?
(One strategy I have used so far is that I leave the valet parking tip in the ashtray of my car. If it's still there when they return my car to me, they get the tip.)
