All depends on service and food.

I generally tip pretty well. every now and again I'll tip 50-100% on delivery food and haircuts and less expensive stuff like that. makes people a littler happier then they hopefully pay it forward and put out more niceness into the world.

I tip around 20% at restaurants, always try to throw a buck into the jar at grab n go type places. I try to tip more at places I'm a regular at. I also always tip in cash which is a little harder to get a hold of now a days.

I'd say I tip pretty well. But I don't go to restaurants or order pizza particularly often.

Usually around 20%. If there is a jar situation then I throw some money in about every 2 or 3 times. I'm also a super nice, polite, and easy to deal with customer.
If it's a place where they have to touch me, like a hair-cut place then I tip much more. Like over 50% at least.
If service is bad then I leave little to no tip.

I tip waitstaff on performance, and take into account if they are busy but usually 20-25%. I don't base my tip on the food, they just serve it, not cook it. If it is really bad I have no hesitation asking to have my meal reprepped because its garbage. Always polite, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Holland does not have a culture where servers are treated like second class citizens such as is the case in the US, a leftover from your troubled racial history.
Servers here straight up get decent salaries that can sustain their household even in the absence of tips, their salary and benefits and paid leave when they get sick is included in the price you pay.
Tipping here is pure generosity, not a way to prop up underpaid benefitless servers.
I tip mediocre for mediocre service and exceptional for exceptional server.
If I were a server, I would be respectfully, elegantly submissive to the customer's enjoyment of the restaurant experience, being the ambassador, the liaison, between the restaurant and myself.
This is a far cry to what is often the case with servers in Holland. The Dutch are generally assertive and direct, if not rude, and many servers are too.
You don't have through roll through the mud for me, but certainly don't be arrogant, passive-aggressive or impatient with my reasonable pace of the process, or you'll get coal in your stocking this christmas 
The ones that do an impeccable job, often in exotic restaurants is my observation, where the owner insists on polite service of his staff, I tip very generously, in part fueled by the times I had to tip mediocre.

I typically tip from 20-100%. It really depends on where I'm at and how great the service was. Having been a waiter, I'm especially inclined to give very large tips

Some servers make crazy money. Obviously others are poor as shit.
My Mother is a bar tender, she can clear $300 a night. That's more than I make with a Master's degree. I guess the point is that while servers in the U.S. are certainly undervalued, I'm not sure they are exactly treated as second class citizen either.
I've tipped as much as 50% for excellent service, and generally never less than 15% no matter how bad the service was.

Usually 20%. If I have a gift card somewhere I try to leave a really good tip, or places that I go to a lot I usually tip a little more.
At one thai restaurant that I went to weekly and would tip well at, the owner brought us out a really fancy bottle of sake as a thank you, he sat down and drank with us after the restaurant closed. It was pretty cool hanging out and drinking and hearing his story

I avoid tipping situations like the plague. If I'm forced to be in a tipping situation I'll tip appropriately out of compassion. But if you want to keep the money that you make, avoid doing stuff that involves spending and tipping. That way you're richer and not poorer at the end of the day
