I find it funny you call me cheap when you have no idea how I tip
i dont have to know how much you tip. i can tell by your comments in numerous threads on the subject that you are a cheap bastard.

i have done much, much more than that many times. i have paid more on a tip than i have for the actual meal more than a few times. granted, it isnt as frequent as it used to be, as i dont make anywhere near the money now that i did over the eight years before changing jobs.
servers at restaurants near where i lived would
always get very big tips. it wasnt really due to being altruistic, as i would reward even average service with huge tips at these restaurants. i frequented them the most, would never have to wait in lines on weekends, and dates would always be impressed that the hosts and servers would call me "mr. xxxx."
restaurants where i didnt frequent would get large tips based on a variety of factors. if a waitress had big tits, she would get a better tip. if she had big tits and showed them off, she would get an even bigger tip. if she had big tits and a nice ass, she would get my tip.
even with bad service, i am almost positive i have never left anything less than 20%. i know that isnt the best thing to do as it reinforces bad service. even when im with a girlfriend agrees that we have had horrible service, i will ask her "is it really bad if i only tip 20%?" it's a bit of being too egotistical and not wanting the servers to think im cheap, as well as understanding people have bad days and hoping to change their mood.
but, yes, you are a cheap bastard.
