When it comes to gratuity where do you guys stand?
1. 'tipping' is expected these days, I automatically tip even if I perceive that I have not experienced particularly great service.
2. I do tip if I feel a person has gone out of their way to ensure that I have received top service. Also certain people (waiting on staff, bar staff etc.) work long hard hours for not so great money so I feel that they probably deserve a little extra.
3. Screw em!, I also work long hard hours and nobody ever tips me! Why the hell should I tip someone just because I perceive that it's expected of me?
Be interested to know what you guys think, I'm probably a 2.

No choice in the US of A pete ... it's expected!!! But to be fair, I'll go with 2 :¬)
And I still do in the US ... they either accept it or they don't ... if it's 'crap', I'll tell them and write it on the 'tab' aswell

I can't stand places that put a service charge on the receipt. A tip is something extra that should go to the person who served you. If I found the waiter/waitress friendly or helpful, I leave a tip (I stick to the standard 10% of the total). I don't always leave a tip though. A tip is something that should be earned, not left as a given.
So, number 2 definitely.
I avoid places that give a service charge.

2. Especially in India.
Nope, money is tight, screw 'em. There might be a point or justification to it in the US where the minimum wage is pathetic but over here, staff get paid the same as any other low level employee. I might leave my change behind if I'm in the mood but any place that adds a service charge to the bill won't get my repeat business.
