This may be a “hot take” but the service staff is employed by the restaurant, not me. It’s not my job to pay the employees of the restaurant. It’s the owners and employers job to pay the staff. I want to know the price of the thing I’m buying when I order it, not after taxes are added and in some places a “cost of living” fee on top of that. Them to expect the customer to pay even more on top of all the extra bs fees the house charges instead of just increasing the price of the food. No thanks

It was probably the percentage BEFORE a discount was given… just because a discount happens doesn’t mean you should skip out on the tip of a server… example, you have a $100 bill with a $50 discount, you DO NOT TIP ON THE DISCOUNT, you tip on THE TOTAL bill of service. You still all got the same amount of food and service, so stop with this short tipping staff!
Can’t afford a tip then don’t fucking go to a damn restaurant! I make more as a server with half the hours than when I was a full time teacher! America is fucked but don’t fuck fellow people over because you can’t comprehend the tipping culture and are a cheap POS!

You’re right. Not sure why you’d be down voted.

The problem is that because of the way it’s written, it ends up misleading.
If there was a simple disclaimer like “tip based on non-discounted prices”, it would’ve been fine.

In your experience what percentage of people tipped $0 or far less than 20%?
