How much do you tip? - 11-20-2006, 04:12 AM

I recently got in an argument with my friend about this so I was curious how much do you tip at resturaunts, assuming its acceptable service?

* I realize in a lot of Europe it is not custom to tip but if you do/did how much?

0-10%
10-15%
15-20%
over 20%

Also lets hear some stories if you got em...

I usually tip dpending on the service that I get.

If the service is adequate to excelent, I do 15 to about 20 repectively.

If service is sub-par, I tip about 10%.

If it's down right aweful, I don't tip (it happened only a few times)

In Finland, usually nothing (except possibly 'keep the change' but I rarely pay cash anyway). Abroad, I try to remember to tip according to whatever the local custom is... overall it's something I'm not very comfortable with.
