All the more reason to just click 'Other' and then 'Zero'. Did that at every coffee/QS place I went to earlier this month and no one batted an eyelid.

Never ever feel guilty for not tipping.

Yes, if you are eating at TS Disney restaurants for a week you could save a small fortune tipping 10%. I found the service mainly acceptable and good but not worth much more than 10% overall.

I just think 10% is a nice easy amount. Go up to 15/20 if the service is excellent/over and beyond or go lower if it's crap. 10% for standard good service seems good to me.

Thanks all.

Will do a bit of a summary when I'm back home and calculate what we saved by tipping 10% instead of 20% and by not tipping a cent in QS places that asked for it.

Don't blame your friend for not tipping. I don't understand tipping even 10% if the service is crap. I would rather tip nothing and explain to the manager why, just like we did at Bahama Breeze.
