[quote=Anonymous]I tip post-tax just out of laziness, but social convention in the US is to tip on the pre-tax amount. My standard restaurant tip for average service is 15%, rounded up to the nearest dollar. Which, in an area with a 10% meals tax, is 16.5%. I don't eat at super high-end restaurants, but that seems like a trivial difference and not worth thinking about too much. I will happily tip more for excellent service or reluctantly tip less for poor service (which, fortunately, is rare). I have never heard about not tipping for alcohol. That makes no sense to me. I would always tip on the total bill amount. I agree that restaurants over-price alcohol, which is why I don't usually order it. But, the usual rule applies: "if you can't afford the tip, then you can't afford to eat out." Go to a cheaper restaurant, eat at home, or just don't order alcohol if you don't like the price.[/quote]
