Tipping/Dining and Dashing

[Tarmac]

ok, i will heading to the US soon, so how much should one tip, say for a normal lunch/dinner at a normal cafe/restaraunt?

down here in Australia, i'd only tip for excellent service and food, which is rare

If you tip 15% consistently and across the board, no server will ever hate you. No one will ever love you either but hey, that's life.
