How much would you tip? (4.Viewing)

Why do they have a second tip option when the tip is already charged?

When I add it up it only comes to $180 not $268…am I not reading it right?
Bill not making sense at all. 20% of $268 isn’t $21.82
But anyway in answer to your question… being in the industry I usually do 20% or more.

Policy is not law, so I would simply remove the SURCHARGE and tip what I normally would.

Personally I tip 15% but before taxes and I don't tip on $50 bottles of wine.

No way I am tipping on taxes, surcharges, or enormously overpriced wine.

Way back in Niagara falls the restaurants charge a tourist tax, I immediately remove it from the bill. It is something the restaurants charge and actually not a real tax, in fact I would argue that calling it a tax is borderline illegal.

First, that bill is likely completely bogus. But if I was actually presented with that bill, I would have paid zero, tipped zero, and called the cops to come press charges, then wrote a letter to the editor, posted the bill on every social media, and called out the blatantly crooked owner.

Yeah that's a given but lets say the bill was accurate, would you tip on top of the Service Charge?

Not typically, no. But its possible there was some amazing service.

To be honest, I despise the tip culture we've been conned into. A tip should be optional, for exceptional service. You shouldn't get any tip for just doing your job. Too many shitty servers expect their tip and are only there at your table and suddenly friendly when presenting the bill. And they start asking you questions while being presented with the credit card machine to distract you on purpose. We're all being scammed if you ask me.
