[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally tip 20% on the post-tax price. I do this regardless of where I go.[/quote] NP. Same here. But then I don't go to $300 restaurant meals. We average about $75-$100 a meal for our family of four. The way I figure it is that even at $300, the tax is about $18 and 20% of that is $3.60. I bet that $3.60 will make a lot more difference to a waiter making $6/hr plus tips than it makes to me. On a $75 meal, the tax is $4.50 and adding tip of 20% on that is 90 cents. I can afford to tip an extra dollar to be nice to someone who works hard and earns towards the bottom of the income pool. I figure I tip about $150 extra per year by tipping on tax. And it means a heck of a lot more to these people, who I appreciate are willing to work in the food service industry. I've been there and it's hard work. Plus, I don't want to do it, so I want to make it worthwhile for other people to do it.[/quote]
