some of my friends did that same thing. They took all of the street signs and had them piled up all over the house. Unfortunatly a door store delivery guy spied a couple of the signs and turned them in, on the night of my bud's batchelor party. Luckily they had most of them in the basement, they only had to return about twenty they had upstairs.

I tip normally starting at 20%, and go up from there. I am a manager of a Pizza Hut, we dont spit in peoples food for a bad tip ( i have been in 6 area stores) dont feel bad for the servers only making 2.50 an hour, most of my servers probably make the same if not more than me, depends how good they are. I agree about tipping better if its a normal hangout, I get AWESOME service at the local steak house, normally only pay for 1 of every 3 drinks, etc cause i have been going there so long and tip well i get taken care of. I leave $15 for my $12 haircut every 3-4 weeks same store same lady most of the time, and they do a great job. Not sure with cabbies, pizza delievery is another way to get taken care of, my drivers can tell me 9 out of 10 times when an order comes in weather theyll get a tip or not, my parents order from another local pizza hut, the driver knows them by name and will bump them ahead of other orders most of the time.

For cabbies, 10% is common, but the % goes down on the real long rides, say over $50 fare.

J/K I usually tip 15-20% unless the service is horrible, or sometimes more than 20% if im in a good mood and feeling generous

Also, don't forget tipping stuff like pizza or other food delivery guys. Granted they're not serving you like a true waiter/waitress, but they're also beating the crap out of their cars and gas and so forth to bring it to you. I usually give about 10% or so on pizza or $2.00 minimum. Having done that as a side job in the past, no pizza guy's going to complain about it if you only give them a dollar and the remainder of the change, but if you're only giving the guy the change from a 20 dollar bill on an order for $19.50 he's probably going to be grumbling about what a cheapass you are to himself on the way back to the car.

Also when tipping and paying with a credit card, try to tip with cash instead, since the underlying wage is crap for most jobs like waitresses, if you tip them with cash they don't have to report the full amount for taxes which isn't exactly right from a legal perspective, but helps them out quite a bit on the take home pay and that way there's not a paper trail should they be audited by the IRS or state.

Given that nobody likes the IRS anyway, I just look at it as doing my little part to keep their grubby mitts off of people's income by giving the tip earning person the means to decide for themself whether or not to report it.

Just don't forget, what comes around goes around, there's nothing wrong with being a little generous with tips if you can, worst case you're only out a couple bucks and you might really make someone else's day if they're having a rough one just by the gesture.
