IMHO, the tip is the price you pay for the enthusiasm and good service provided by the waiter, and it's main purpose is to clarify the people serving you is doing so voluntarily and not because of slavery (even though they are in fact, being paid, you as a customer cannot know that, so the tip is the prof of non-slavery directly between the customer and the server).
In that sense, I find it meaning and pay it. Depending on the quality of the service I usually go from 5% (very bad quality) to 10% (regular) and even 25% (extremely good service).
What I don't understand nowadays is people in fast food services requesting for tip. I buy a to-go sandwhich in Subway and the fuckers ask me for tip. How is that reasonable? They are the equivalent of chefs, or cooks, they make they food, they don't serve it. Why the hell would they feel authorized to ask for a tip? Fucking morons.
