Comment on Stop Turning every purchase into a tip request

Comments

Since we're riled up about the state of compulsory tipping, I'll throw in my bugbear: the calculated percentages are frequently based off the post-tax total! Tipping has historically been based on the pre-tax cost, but the rise of receipts and screens that do the math for you has smuggled the taxes into the tip umbrella. Infuriating.
