Good way to insure that this sort of highway robbery continues and that poor service gets rewarded.

Here is mine.
Over the top,remember my preferences,fights for me in the kitchen-25% max
Very good,makes me want to come back and have them wait on me again.18-20%
Good 16%-18%
Average 15% always.
Rude/Poor/Dumb 0% and the loss of my buisness.
All of this is on the pre tax total
