I'm not sure what it would be, but I'd sure like to be there to watch .

Here in the UK the expectation is generally for the diner to leave a tip between 10% and 15%. Some places add it to the bill automatically, but not that often, and I have complained when that happens. I'm with you - I don't automatically leave a tip if the service just covers the basic requirements, but if it is friendly and attentive, then I will usually leave 15% to 20% (depending on how expensive the meal is!).
