10% is standard in my case.

I tip less often than the average American because I’m from Australia. Also tipping is dehumanising, no one should have to dance for their supper.

I’m British and also very cheap, so…

I don’t understand why you would ever tip someone that hands you something as the only service. If they did less than that, it would be a police matter.

Waiters can also give you recommendations about the food. That said, they really shouldn‘t have to depend on tips.

In general, I tip 20% at restaurants and salons, food delivery services typically get a flat tip of $7 per order, maybe a few bucks if I’m picking up the food myself, and $1 per coffee or drink at a bar. If service is really good or really awful (ie, the server is rude), I adjust accordingly.
