For every $10, I shuck out $2.... For the money, I make sure I ask for refills if I need them and am respectful... I try to clean up the table and often sort the dishes being bussed when we're in a group so they're easier for the server to carry.
If you ever go to a restaurant with toddlers/infants....they can make a huge mess. They get paid to clean up, but it's still nice to compensate them for dealing with your kid's mess. It's half the reason some people go out to begin with....they're too lazy to clean up at home. In those cases, I'll sometimes go upward of 25-30%. In a decently priced family-restaurant, that's not that much money....
