In Australia we only tip if the service is fantastic, so it's not part of the way we do things at all. Here it seems to be the norm to hand over $1 bills to everyone.
Now the next question - what in the fuck is the use of these 1cent fucking coins? I just leave the fucking things on the counter.

I tip very well, say $5-$10+ depending on the bill.. or I'll round it off... if the nut is $24, I'll go to $30 etc...and the reason being I tend to eat at the same places in my area on a regular basis and I get great service. sometimes if I have a good week I'll even grab the check from another table and pay it as well.... then split before the other tale finds out I did... usually families with kids... once i left a $100 tip and the manager ran after me because he thought the waiter was trying to scam the bill ;)
