Your right tipping in America is way out of hand, read some stuff on tipping etiquette here and it's just a joke. Your supposed to tip in a restaurant since the waiters only make a couple dollars an hour so I give 15 to 20 % and thats a good tip. But reading this stuff they say you should tip your hairdresser, your mechanic, you grass cutting service, your paper boy, your mail man, you name it and they all have their hands out wanting extra for a service you just paid more for then it's worth. You want good service from your motorcycle service department, bring them some donuts or a 12 pack of beer after you just spent 20 grand on a bike. I could go on and on buts that enough, you get the idea. The only ones I will tip are waiters and the tip is only as good as the service, so if the service is bad 15 to 20 % is out of the question.
