I generally tip 20% up to a max of $5.

I refuse to pay some uneducated dolt with limited ambition to do nothing more than bring plates to my table. Its time to build some tuxedo clad robots and get rid of waitstaff.
I went to a restaurant in Taipei last year and they had robot servers to deliver food. It was pretty cool. The kitchen put your food on the robots and they delivered it to your table. But they still had human servers taking orders answering questions and clearing dishes and they still got tipped (at the Taiwanese customary rate).
