I agree, but in NYC it's become so normal to tip 20% minimum at every breakfast, lunch or dinner even when the service is mediocre at best.
Most scenarios have been covered, though 2 others would be :
Salon - The girl that cuts my hair in NY expects a 25% tip
Coat check - Often forgotten. It amazes me the amount of people in NY that spend $150 each on dinner or $1000 on table service in a club yet fail to hand the coat check girl/guy a couple of bucks per coat
