It depends on how your service was. If it was good i'd give 20% which is $6. If the service wasn't good i'd go for the lower end and give $4.50. And mediocre service i'd give 18% which is $5.40. Really these days I tip 20% no matter what because usually it only adds up to a few extra dollars on the bill and servers already don't make enough as it is so why not give them the couple extra dollars. Only time i really do 15% is if it was really truly the worst service i've had. Only once i believe have i left less than that because the server cussed out my husband for asking what beer was on tap.
 
No need to give tips, In Singapore, most of the restaurants already add in 10% service charges and in addition, 7% service tax.

Nowadays, food prices increased and some more, services are not very good, it is better not to give tips. Money hard to earn.....

If you really want to give tips, it is up to you.
 
6 if its really good service. Im a waitress and sometimes I get tipped even more than that. People who say dont leave one have you ever been a waitress?; we work for our money we dont sit at a desk all day long were on our feet all day long and most of us dont get breaks most people get theyre half hour lunch breaks, sometimes we dont even get a break at all. We barely get paid by the hour and after taxes let me mind you we get taxed for charged tips 2. So we get taxed twice, we barely even have a paycheck. If you dont have the money to tip right dont go out to eat!
 
Please forgive my intrusion into this discussion, but the question begs a far deeper, and somewhat humorous discussion...
What country uses a "Thirty dollar bill?"

This reminds me of an old, somewhat politically incorrect story, about an old hillbilly who went into a gas station in one of the many lost valleys in Kentucky (for the beneifit of the Aussies among us, that is the "bowser") to get some cigarettes. This event took place back in the predawn era when cigarettes cost 1.25. The hillbilly plopped an eight dollar bill on the counter. The cashier didn't miss a beat. She reached in the cash drawer, and pulled out two three dollar bills and a seventy five cent piece for change!

Even within this story, another of the great questions of humanity is hidden. Why is it that you go to a gasoline station to buy cigarettes???

I hope my humble effort has brought a smile to your face. For anyone from Kentucky, please accept my apology for this slightly politically incorrect story.

Oh, I forgot. Since most of the kentuckians out there don't read, they won't even know they have been insulted by this humble Ohioan...

i would think 4.00 is plenty. the cost of everything has gone up, and we just can't afford to be as generous with tips. Maybe they should pay waitresses minimum wage and do away with the 20% tips, go back to leaving a dollar or 2
 
the gratuity left is relative to the service received. You don't tip because you think you have to. The tip or gratuity is left to show appreciation for good service. 10% is low end of the scale and 20% is high end. Any where in between is fine depending on how you were served.
