Default Tipping etiquitte

Is there a minimum tip you should always leave? Sometimes when I go to a sit-down joint for a $4.99 lunch special, I feel cheap at the thought of leaving only 15-20%.

If it's five or under I usually tip 100%. Makes me feel like Sinatra or something. Two dollars is my minimum.
The exception to this is drink orders while sitting at the bar. A beer/wine/whiskey etc. gets and automatic dollar regardless of cost.

You can sit down and eat at Burger King without worrying about not leaving a tip.
