In FL, the hourly rate for a server plus the tips must equal the hourly minimum wage or the employer is required to make up the difference. In other words, servers are guaranteed at least the hourly minimum wage.

I don't believe there is a "normal". I tip anywhere from 100% to 0% but I don't expect anyone else to do this. You should tip according to what makes sense for you.
