I will not give tips to incompetence(messing up order completely or rudeness)
Tell us what disqualifies a server from getting a tip from you.
Move the decimal point to the left by 1 spot and multiply by two for exceptional service.

$25.00 (move decimal point over) $2.50 (multiply by 2) $5.000 = 20% tip.

Move the decimal point to the left by 1 spot, divide that in half, and add to the original number for anything less than exceptional service (15%).

$25.00 (move decimal point over) $2.50 (halve and add to original $2.50) $3.75 = 15% tip.

I have never had an instance where I felt I did not have to tip. It can be tough to determine who made the mistake... the kitchen or the wait staff? I tip delivery drivers about the same if a bit less. I have heard of people not tipping drivers because they took forever, but most of the time I would imagine that is the kitchen/management's fault.
