That's pretty much how I go about it, with the one exception that i'll often give a breakfast waitress a tip equal to the entire meals bill. Only bar waitresses work harder and they're much better compensated than breakfast servers.
After all 15% of a $6 buck meal ain't all that much compensation for dealing with a bunch of people before they have their coffee.
