There have been a couple of other questions about this...
What is your ethnicity? How much do you generally tip for top-notch service? (ie good food, service with a smile, timely manner, etc) How were you brought up to tip?
I ask this because, as a server for more than 3 years (a very good one at that!) I always ALWAYS treat every table the same. But then there's the issue of tables with blacks. Our black servers hate waiting on tables with blacks (harsh generalization, I know, but in my industry it happens... FYI I'm biracial). For the most part, blacks come into our restuarant later in the evening (9-close) for dinner, get served, rack up a $60 bill and tip $4-5 (if you're lucky). I know people from Asia and Europe simply don't have tipping where they come from... but what is the cause of this phenomenon?
((Note: common tipping practices include 15-18% of the bill, BEFORE discounts. Anything below 15% is insulting.))
