    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!

      The problem is that because of the way it’s written, it ends up being misleading.

      If there was a simple disclaimer like “tip based on non-discounted prices”, it would’ve been fine.

        I agree but also, that’s common sense… just because your bill was discounted doesn’t mean you discount my tip, you still got all the food and great service, so wtf! I don’t get how people are still confused, tipping in America has been a thing for decades!

          Still potentially misleading. If the receipt doesn’t say anything about the discount (which is not clear because we can’t see what’s above the total), then you can’t tell. Again, a simple disclaimer should be enough. If there are things like “please open box before eating pizza”, then this shouldn’t be a problem.

          If you’re a regular at the place, you might know about the specials. If you just walk in one time and you don’t see a label, a receipt like this will be misleading if it doesn’t state the discounts and tip bases.

            It common sense, tip off TOTAL bill NOT discounted prices, you got the same service and food so… tip accordingly of TRUE amount. It’s not “misleading” it’s a true fact, tip based of total.

            Like I said before, you get $100 worth of drinks with a discount of half off so $50, you do NOT tip off $50. You got $100 worth of drinks and services so tip off that! Don’t like it, don’t go out. Don’t agree, then create a bill and call your govt reps, do not punish fellow humans because you “don’t agree”. We are all just trying to live. If anything, make your own food at home and there you go, NO TIP NEEDED… but no, you came out to get waited on therefore, provide tips accordingly, we are not just at the restaurant for pleasure…

              As I said, it’s not evident at all if those are full or discounted prices, so in the latter case it’s a misleading number.

              Anyway, I don’t live in a place with broken wages and tipping system, so I don’t have to deal with problems like this. Where I am wait staff gets adequate wages and tips are only a bonus on top of that.

                Don’t live here… never worked in USA food system… no opinion… I would gladly trade a month to month situation like wife swap… it’s more like American swap… then you will fucking know the shit we deal with! Including getting taxed like 30-40% while billionaires pay little to nothing. You up for it, we can trade lives for a month!
