It’s probably basing the tip on a pre discount amount.
The writer is proud of doing math but should be ashamed of their critical thinking and ego.

That would be a reason not to give a tip.

Did you just make up a scenario and then try to shame them for not using the critical thinking you just invented?
Madison420@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s usually the way the tip calculator works and the top of the receipt is missing.
What’s more likely a computer screwed up a percentage, a company screwed the customer for the benefit of the employee or the calculator is following common tipping convention.
Like I said critical thinking.

No it isn’t. I agree tip culture is ridiculous, but if you go somewhere where that is the norm, and then you don’t tip, you’re an asshole. No question.

That would be a reason to throw hands (okay, I’d consider it for a second and then calm down but still!), and I’d definitely leave without paying, nvm the tip, lol. You’d be lucky if I didn’t scream cause I randomly found a cockroach in my coffee or something. 🤷
