What's the tipping etiquette here?

Asked by bslie (8points) April 13th, 2011

I went out to eat with a group of friends and got a meal for $10. The average meal price between my friends was about $18. When it came time to leave a tip, my friend suggested that everyone throw in $3 to leave a decent amount for the waitress. I reasoned that $2 was appropriate for the cost of my meal. In this situation, what is the etiquette? Should the tip be a collective effort that is uniform or an individual cost depending on your meal?
