I remember when it was 10 percent too. I don't remember it being that
at any time that I had enough money to pay for a dinner out though.
Personally I tip 20 routinely and sometimes more, but I don't go through
any hoops of compensating for specials or the like--whatever the check
was that's what I tip on. The service has to be bad enough to **** me
off before I cut the tip.

One that really ****ed me off was egregiously bad service at a place
where they automatically charged 20 percent. I took that up with the
manager (who wasn't present--he had an office down the street, which
probably explains the problem) and got that full 20 percent back.
