I treat a tip for what it is... an additional charge depending on her level of service. If she's poor, 0%, average, 10-15%, good 15%+
Regarding the Aussie's, what's up with that? I work with some Aussies and when we go for lunch they don't tip, who ends up paying the tip...me. They say, we don't tip in Australia. Guess what, you're not in Australia anymore you Cheapskate!
I wonder what the service is like in Australia? When I was in Costa Rica the service charge was automatically added to all the bills and the service was complete crap because they didn't have to work for an additional tip.
This is why I don't think you should leave a tip regardless. As another poster said, when they start expecting a tip, the level of service goes down.
