In its online edition today, the Seattle PI asks readers about their tipping habits. The question is near and dear because my daughter worked at Tomato Street this summer. Some people are generous. Others are schmucks who stiff their servers and even try to obtain free stuff by complaining about everything. Waiters are paid below minimum wage, plus the tips. When you reward good service with a poor tip or no tip at all, you're doing a disservice to your hard-working waiter. Now, the poll.

Question: How much do you usually tip when you dine out? (See related article here.)

1. 10% or less
2. 12%
3. 15%
4. 18%
5. 20% or more
6. Never tip at all
7. Never dine anywhere they expect tips
