I usually just look for the tax amount, double that and add a dollar. If there is no separate tax shown I usally figure 20% and subtract a dollar. Even for take out I usally leave a dollar or two. When things go wrong I try and figure out who is really at fault. One night, when the waiter was terrible and I was leaving a dollar tip on a $45 tab, I made sure to hunt down our bus boy, (who was great), as we were leaving, and give him $5, telling him I didn't want him to suffer for the waiters lousy service and bad humor. My wife is constantly telling me I'm a softy when it comes to tipping.
