I tend to give even more (25-30%) when I'm with a large club group because I know the extra work involved, but that's just me.
I had a waitress make change at the table one night and I was due back a penny in addition to dollars. She asked me if I wanted the penny and I laughed and said no...she replied "you'd be surprised" and I said, no I wouldn't....
