Servers expect minimum 15 percent and 20 percent gratuity is usually the norm. When I was a server, I worked my ass off every night. Anyone who tips less than 15 percent should eat at Burger King imho.
I tip what I think the service is worth. If the servers are too busy to service me and whoever I'm with I tip less or in really bad cases not at all. Its not like its my fault if they are understaffed or whatever it is. If the servers are unhappy with that they should consider switching job to work for someone that allows them to have the needed time to service the customers or pay enough so they don't have to give a fuck about tips...

Normally I tip about 20% - 25%

Anyone who expect to be paid without providing a service should go work at burger king
