[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach my kids to move the decimal point on the total, multiply by 2, and round up. That's the baseline tip.

For all of you who insist on pretax tips, if the tax is 10%, the difference on a $100 bill is $2.  If you go out for a $500 meal, the difference is $10.

You should be ashamed of yourself.  [/quote]
The actual tip convention is pre-tax. Your rational is that it’s not that much and you shame people at the end. C’mon. At least provide a logical reason. [/quote]

Yeah.  It really isn't, and you have been shortchanging every server.  Know that you are hated at every restaurant you frequesnt.[/quote]
So frequently we just tip on post-tax out of laziness or because it doesn’t matter. 
But your logic of shaming people and insisting they are shortchanging servers for tipping pre-tax doesn’t make sense. I sure as hell hope you also add 20% to your tax bill come April under this logic. [/quote]

I think you’re trying to make a point but it makes no sense.[/quote]
It seems like a pretty easy concept to me. There is no reason to tip on tax because it’s not a service provided by the restaurant. It’s a tax.  [/quote]

The point about paying extra taxes, however, is nonsensical.[/quote]
