Um, no. See, tipping for lousy service defeats the entire purpose, even the original motivation of the custom.
I've tipped for mediocre service before, but if it outright
sucks, you're lucky if you get away with just a penny and a hard time.
On the other hand, I've tipped outrageous amounts for
good service. Not even great service.
Of course, this always varies based on how much cash I have at the time. Come payday, if I'm not left thirsty and don't have to wait extended periods of time for a waitress or waiter to simply
do their job, I've made it more than worth their efforts. On one occasion, when they kept the drinks coming and I had gotten some yummy overtime, I tipped 120 percent.
For this reason, when I become a "regular" somewhere, my service is either exceptional, or the servers are left to make up the difference, perhaps on a street corner.
