Yes, you tip on the full amount. Don't like it, eat at a cheaper restaurant. Don't like my answer, do something to change the system. If you have 250 for dinner, have 20% for tip.

Servers get raises by paying dues at a lower priced restaurant, getting experience and then getting jobs at better places with hopefully better tips and higher bills.

This is the system we have in the US. Don't penalize the server because you don't like it. Cook at home instead.


That's what I do. Cook at home. Restaurants are ripoff places these days and very rarely do I get good service. Most servers are indifferent so it feels weird paying 20% on top of service charges 🙄

What old days are you talking about? I waited on tables/tended bar in the 80s and you absolutely tipped on alcohol.

Is this your first time at a more expensive restaurant?

Were you born after 2000?

Because pre 2000, there was no tipping on alcohol or tax, and tips were fifteen percent. The current situation is absolutely bonkers.


I was born in 1975, and I’ve always tipped on alcohol.


Surprising. You are old enough to know.
