Eh. I always tip based on the grand total of the bill (after tax).

An extra few bucks doesn't make enough difference to concern over.

Fuck that!

Property taxes are high, but housing is still a fraction of the price of California. Hence why so many Californians come retire in Oregon, and our bud.

Generally, servers don't give a shit and half the time they don't even bring out your food, especially in a 13 top. I don't see why the generally accepted gratuity went up from 15% to 20% in the first place, and now 25% on that bill. The cost of the food keeps going up, so they get more anyway. When will it end? When the tip is as much as the food bill? I understand them putting it on the bill, however.

Because servers get paid WAY less than minimum wage, but it really jut comes down to companies and the government being greedy.

The cooks deserve the tip more, IMO.

Imagine if restaurants just paid their employees a normal salary and nobody had to tip anymore.
