It's pretty simple if you like the service then its 15% if it's REALLY good then at least 20% if it sucks then 10% or even none. I usually leave something so they know their tip sucked because of bad service and not because I just forgot to leave one. You know like maybe a quarter and a bunch of pennies. I also round up to the nearest dollar. On a $12 ticket I'm not leaving $1.80 that's kinda gay. I'll leave $2.
I do tip quite well sometimes 20-20% even if the service is mediocre. Also, yes I never leave "exactly 20%, I will round up.

However, these service industry people should talk to their bosses who don't pay them enough. It's not the customers fault there is this whole tipping business. Which doesn't happen very much anywhere in the world besides U.S.
