I base my tipping, in general, based upon the probability that I'll be eating there again (for example, I have lunch at a local Fish & Chips place at least once a week - and I tip about 30% there, but that's on a $10 Bill) and, beyond that, on the attractiveness of the waitress.

I really shouldn't, but I just can't help myself.

Oh, yeah, I never leave less than a couple bucks on a cup of coffee.

I do the same - I eat out for lunch quite often, and where I go the most (two or three places) I leave a 2 or 3 dollar tip for a 7 dollar meal (lunch place remember)


Next time I come, the staff is right there - and at my regular places, my meal is at the table shortly after I sit down. So the extra couple of bucs is a good yield if I happen to be in a bit of a hurry that day.

BTW - I met my wife while she was working in a cafe - out in the middle of nowhere in the West. Liked the service so much, I came back and took her home with me - that was 30+ years ago.
