Usually since I live in NB and we have a 14% tax I just look at that and round up to the nearest logical amount. I will only not tip if the service was bad. I tip at about 15% of my pre-tax bill too.

Maybe I just don't go to the fancy restaurants but I don't see how saying, "may I take your order?", "how's everything going?" or "are you finished?" constitutes as service deserving a tip. Shouldn't that be expected? Now, if they were particularly engaging I can see it. But not when they stop off 3 times as aforementioned through the course of the meal. It’s 15% for me pre-tax.
