What I don't quite understand I why it makes sense to tip a percentage of the bill. In some cases, the total amount is indicative of the service received (lots of courses or lots of drinks) but often it is not. For a simple lunch with a soft drink, it is posible to pay from 10 dollars (=$1.50 tip) to $40 (=$6.00 tip). In both cases, the waiter had exactly the same thing to do.

I tend to tip more as a percentage when the prices are low than when they are high.
