When I visit another country, I want to know what is the standard and expected tipping practice there, so I can treat service people fairly. It is my observation that there is some disagreement as to what the standard and expected tipping practice is in the United States. My view is that currently, between 15 and 20% of the pretax total is pretty much standard–tending more toward 20%, at least in big cities.
