I served on a resort for a while and quickly learned why the other servers would give up a table of europeans as fast as a black table (serving makes you prejudice, btw). I like Europeans, but they tip like the elderly, and it's frustrating to explain to them why their children can't drink alchohol at the table.
That said, I think we've all been in tight financial straits and can't afford to tip like we would like to. In that situation I usually try to make sure I'm an easy and friendly table for a server. Having an easy table is like an oasis on a busy night, and can mean as much as a good tip.
