What is the proper amount to tip in an eating establishment?

[Edit]

10% if the waiter/waitress is decent and 15% if the waiter/waitress is very good


Actually, 15% is if the server is decent and 20% or more is if they are very good... $5 would be nice if 20% is less than $5... Servers live off of their tips just like any one else lives off a paycheck, their paychecks are usually only a few dollars because they get paid less than $4 an hour (in some states less than $3 an hour) and most of it gets taken away if they make decent tips.
