How much do you tip?

I have also lived in Europe, and big tips where not expected (just a few euros added on to the whole bill), though they were given for very good service. Also, in most countries the tip is already built into the prices or added as a "service charge."

Cheating servers here in the US is not hurting The Man, nor is it making a difference in the amount servers are legally paid. I recommend joining a Service Employees Union to make real changes to the practice of requiring patrons to tip their servers so they can survive off gov't assistance.
