If you don't know the rules of tipping, and when to break them, just pay 15% at a full-service restaurant, and 10% for cabs, deliveries, and buffets. Don't tip for walk-up counter service.

Tips for other services should be based on what you would be paid at your job for the amount of time they are saving you, with a minimum of $1. If you would prefer not to tip the valet, park your own car.

If your service was more than a standard deviation better than the median, pay more. If it was more than a standard deviation worse, pay less. You shouldn't pay 0% without also considering a complaint to the management.
