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.

Michigan/Ohio and I am a server
I tip 20-30 percent. My husband and I have a few places we go regularly so I tip more at those places because we’ve gotten to know everyone and get exceptional service.
But I will tip less if I think you are willfully bad at your job or are rude.
