"...the big difference in tipping [is]... men/women. And everyone who's ever waited a table knows it."

But which group are the cheap b*st*rds?

Also, anyone who has ever worked for tips is a good tipper.

Yep. See 62. Absolute fact.

My personal advice has always been to leave a little more if it looks like you're going to return soon. Anyone who thinks that waitress A doesn't tell waiter B who is tipping heavy hasn't tried it.

Two exceptions to the rule I did find in my brief tenure in this little world were (1) restaurants directing all tips to be placed in a common kitty, and (2) restaurants wherein the bussers shared the tips with the wait staff. In the first case contributions to that kitty became a matter of pride among the wait staff; in the second it was kind of an incentive-killer. My first experience with crypto-socialism. It didn't work very well.
