Nicaragua has the easiest tip system that I know, every restaurant puts the expected tip right onto the bill so that there isn't a question of what the tip should be. It is 10% here which is easy to see on the bill and super easy to calculate.
Europe has the hardest tip system that I know of anywhere in the world. No one can agree on what it is but it is something like 10%, but only sort of, and is different everywhere.
I speculate that this is a programmable feature on US credit card machines as I have seen this option at some establishments... It's nice to have it.
I tend to start at the normal 15% and will go either way depending on service. Nice, friendly, attentive (not over bearing) will get up to 20%. Crappy service will get down to 1 or 0%...

In NYS we have 8% sales tax on everything... so my general rule of thumb is to double the tax and round up.

Yeah... I tend to look at how busy things are as well. If they don't totally forget about us, they'll get at least 18%... but like you said... depending on other factors, I'll swing either way... if I get just absurdedly bad service, I will go and speak with a manager.

Not long now until New Zealand and Tonga to head to head in their Rugby World Cup match.
I hope this is a good game. If it's anything like the beginning of their 2003 World Cup match, it's going to be great!

That pretty much sums it up. Today we learned what zapote fruit was.... when our street fruit lady made me eat some off of a knife that she was holding. Yeah, that's how we roll here.
