My question is If you went to a place like Ruby Tuesdays and just got the Salad Bar and a soda, would you tip the waitress the same as if you ordered a meal from the menu.

as everyone else has said it's reflective of the service, but again the normal % is 15% of the bill. So with what you ordered it shouldnt be that bad. I always tip a little less at lunch time vs. dinner.

I'd tip between 15 and 25%, depending on the service (15 being average, 25% being the cute waiter finding you a table when the place is full). It's less than what you'd tip if you had gotten a meal, but they also did a lot less work- they just brought you soda.
You can round it up to the next dollar (after adding tip to the original amount), if you feel you didn't tip enough.

You should not reward bad behavior/service. With that in mind you can always follow this rule: Look at the bill and get the sales tax and double that. This is the right tip in most states. Of course if they are exceptional and you expect to go back frequently tip them well and tell the manager or fill out a survey card for them.

In my opinion, a tip should reflect the service you receive ..and then give a percentage of what your bill totaled....and no more...if you were a millionaire then you could afford to leave a big tip but for most people a certain percentage is all we should be expected to leave for them. There are sites on the web I'm sure that state what amount is best for each job title.

I don't tip based on location or type of restraint. The tip is for the servers. It they are friendly and do a professional job of serving, timely, polite and make my dining experience a delight I tip 20% if not 15 if it is an unpleasant experience 10% and if it is a nightmare a penny.

20% or $2.00 per person which ever is greater.
If I am taking up space and someone is filling up my cup, give them a buck or two.
