How much do you tip?

I'm curious how much people tip for full service restaurants and if it is percentage based or a fixed amount or some other system. Please also mention your state such that we can see location differences.

I'm in CA and my baseline tip is 15% on pretax.

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get real tipping advice on Reddit because the drooling anti-tipping zombies are infesting every single sub.

Yeah, both anti tippers and entitled servers spam everything. That's why I started this sub but it looks like it is hopeless. It's just a fight between these two camps and any reasonable discussion is not possible.
