We don't eat out that often (once every 2-3 weeks) so tipping is a non-issue. In any case we're not that motivated by price and certainly don't sit there at the end of a meal, calculator in hand, trying to figure out how much an "optional" addition to the cost of the meal should be. If the service is exemplary, I reward it accordingly. But I don't expect to pay for minimal competence.
