[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you tip on pre or post tax? [/quote]

Post. Not tipping on tax is cheap.[/quote]

[b]No, it's not. All tipping guides say use the pre-tax amount. [/quote][/b]

The "guides" may say it's acceptable .... it's still absurdly cheap.  Really, if you can't afford to tip decently on the bill for great service, don't go out.  [/quote]

It's not a question of affordability. And the fact that you suggest it is means you lose this argument by default.

Taxes in some cities are 10% or more. Ergo your 20% tip on a post-tax amount really is a 22% tip. Considering that 15% to 18% is the industry standard, that's really starting to get excessive.

Believe me, I can afford the extra amount. But that's not actually how tipping works, so I don't do it.[/quote]

That extra 2% is what you classify as excess?  I'll err in favor of excess.  And yes, you sound like you're insanely cheap if you can't fork over and extra buck or two.  Also, how do u lose the argument by default?  Everything you wrote confirms you are cheap or can't afford to eat out.  [/quote]
