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
I agree with BigGuy on this. That said until I read this thread I hadn't considered the pre-tax, post-tax issue, but will do so from now on.

On Saturday we lunched at a restaurant across the street from a major museum and parked in the restaurant lot. Before our meal was over, the waiter asked if we were going on to the museum. I told him we were. He told me that he could give me a card to put in my car window so that we could stay parked where we were with no problem while we went to the museum.

Obviously his tip grew!
