On the debit/credit machines in Canada, there is the option of choosing a tip. One can enter a dollar amount or a percentage of the bill.
If I'm picking up an order, I won't leave a tip.
When I get my hair cut, I usually work it backwards instead of choosing a percentage. If the service was $22.99, I'll do the math so that the amount I'm charged is even. In this case, I would likely put in a tip of $3.01 to make it $26.00.
I try to make it between 15% and 20%. When I used to go out to restaurants, I thought the norm was about 10% of the bill. It wasn't until years later that I found out the benchmark was 15% for good service and 20% for great service.
One of my friends at the restaurant where I used to frequent must have thought I was a cheapskate by only tipping 10%!
