Having read your remark as how you don't tip in starbucks, I thought you're
quite cheap. But it turns out that you are actually quite generous. I
usually tip around 10%, unless the service is highly remarkable (but over
here we have 10% service charge, so the tip is -although very common,
optional and additional to sv).

To OP:
Are you sure tipping is a US-only custom? Have you made any research on this
issue other than watching a US TV program (and a comedy show I suspect...)?
