With regards to the subject at hand: I agree that prices have risen and there 
is no need to increase the per centage of the tip. 

My scale:

0% for lousy service, bad food, whatever and complain to the manager

15% for standard service, I have to ask for refills or things that should be 
automatic

25% for good service, consiencious (sp?) wait staff

40-50% for outstanding service or at places where I am a "regular" (where I 
usually get that level of service anyhow.

My guess would be that 80% of the time I only tip 15%.

reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is,    
as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
