This. Post tax AND post booze. Good tipping is one of the cheapest/easiest ways to make someone's day better.

My sister waited tables for years and said the same thing. Any table of more than 2 women or more than 1 (very) old person and you can count on not making a dime.
20% post.
20% post.

I'm sorry to say this, but I used to wait tables and women customers were the absolute worst. It surprises me none that many of the women posting here would calculate tip pre-tax and pre booze.
I have no idea why, but groups of women at restaurants are notoriously cheap. The host would have to spread the groups of women that would come in evenly across the wait staff. If you got stuck with too many tables of them you would make no money.
There are of course exceptions, but they were exceptions.

How much are you spending on dinner for it to make a difference??
Sheesh, post tax, of course.
If we spend $150 on dinner and tip 20%, what is that going to be? an extra $3 if I tip on tax. If can can spend that on dinner, then I can affort $3 extra.

Depends. Sometimes pre, sometimes post.

post.
What about alcohol, are you supposed to tip on that? My hubby can easily add $15 to our total with his beers. We've been tipping on it, because it's easier, but just wondered what is the right way?

Post, it's just easier.
Though sometimes if it's a DC restaurant I just double the tax and round up so I guess in those cases I'm doing it based on pre-tax.
