Not saying this isn’t real and completely scummy, but sometimes the tip is calculated before discounts, gift cards, and whatnot. I always tip based on what our total order was even if what we paid was less. If this is truly trying to fudge the numbers to take advantage of people then that’s shitty.

Customer pays for product/service, and it's the employer's job the pay the employees. What the employer needs for this is his/her job to include in the price.
I feel like there may be some missing information. For example, if the customer had a coupon or other discount. The tip should be a percentage of the total before the discount. If they’re “adjusting” to tip less- based on the post-coupon price, fuck them.
I'm guessing the tip is calculated before any discounts/comps, which would be conspicuously cut off in this photo
whenever I see a "suggested tip for your inconvenience" I feel the urge to research (aka google) their reported earnings for the last economical year, calculate their profit margin and write that in the tip line and to pay their employees better instead of trying to shift the costs onto the customers with scammy guilty conscience. Fuck establishments like that, especially those who are then trying to conceive you ONTOP of the already bs tips
Tipping by percentage never made much sense to me. I order a coffee at a diner, the waitress only gets a 42 cent tip? She should get more if she has to carry a plate of food? She checks on me the same amount. That's a five dollar tip at least.
Hahah in my country she gets a wage for that shit
Not only that but that waitress at a diner is probably providing a hell of a lot better service than that bartender where I have to wave money just to get served
I have yet to encounter an automatic tip calculation that doesn't base the tip on the total bill including taxes. It’s a pretty infuriating cash grab. Not only am I directly having to pay an employee’s wages so the restaurant doesn’t have to, I’m having to tip the government, too? (Yeah, I know the government doesn’t get the tip)
You WRITE the tip amount on the receipt? How does the payment terminal know how much to take?
It's entered manually, usually at the end of the shift. It's standard for most, if not all restaurants in the United States
The server has to manually enter it.
Here's their bullshit workflow:
- Print the check
- Customer reviews it
- Credit card is given to the server
- Card is swiped/authorized at the POS
- Server returns with the receipts
- Customer then writes in the tip amount and signs on the merchant copy
- Server takes the signed receipt and enters the tip amount back at the POS
For whatever reason, the USA keeps using their signature, when the technology for pay at the table has been around for decades.
Meanwhile, chip & PIN has been standard everywhere in Canada for the last decade, with some businesses using it for almost another decade prior to that. Mexico wasn't far behind either, so it's absolutely possible to adopt better methods.
The whole tip thing is a scam to begin with.
I don't like in a madhouse where they put tips on the cheque thankfully nor expect tips in percentages, so.. no
And they still tipped?
My tip would have been 0 right there and would have included a complaint with police
Also, you're supposed to tip on the subtotal.
When I see they have made a "mistake" like this. I don't correct it.... I make my own mistake and give a smaller tip than i would have
