How do you tip?

Do you know what this is? Its the world's smallest violin playing just for the waitresses.

In all seriousness though, I usually tip $3-5 if the service was exceptional, meaning we got our orders in a reasonably short time with no errors, we got refills when we needed them, and they didn't take forever getting the check.

Just the other night though, we went to this barbecue place that's usually pretty awesome, and the waiter had little to no personality, like he didn't even want to be there, didn't come back to ask if the food was good, and when he took my glass to refill it, he ended up giving it to the table next to us. I would've tipped him a dollar (Hadn't heard of the penny tip until now. I may start bringing a penny with me to restaurants just in case now.), but the lowest bill I had was a five and I'd already crossed out the tip section on the debit receipt. So he got nothing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
