It is customary in the U.S. to tip for many services. In fact, many wages are based on a high level of tipping, so you will find gratuities are expected, although they are sometimes automatically added and other times optional.
When dining out, check the bottom of the bill and if it states service, tip, or gratuity included, there is no need to leave a further tip unless you wish to. You will often find that parties of six people or more automatically have 15% - 20% gratuity added to their bill.
At the foot of the bill, you may see listed three choices for tipping: 15%, 18% or 20% and the corresponding amount in dollars. To help calculate, some restaurants even tell you what the total is including each of those percentages. Common acceptable tipping rates are:-
Waiter / Waitress 15% - 20% of the bill
Taxi Driver 10% - 15% of the fare
Valet Parking $2 - $5 Dollars – generally larger tips when it is raining are appropriate
