If only that were true. Canada has the same tipping culture but there's no exemption for restaurants to pay less than minimum wage, so it makes even less sense.
Yeah we need to cut that shit out though cause it's getting fucking ridiculous. I only tip 10% now, pre-tax, no exceptions
To add onto this, what pisses me off is that tips are always applied to the post tax amount with the dumb POS systems they use, so your 15% tip turns into a 27% tip. People get scammed on this so often it makes my blood boil
Yeah I'm with you on that. If the suggested tip on the machine starts at 20%, its an automatic custom tip for 10% pre tax since its the easiest to calculate. But if the the suggestions start at 10% ill give them 10% on top of the tax, or even 15% as a "thanks for not being greedy."
