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!
This may be a “hot take” but the service staff is employed by the restaurant, not me. It’s not my job to pay the employees of the restaurant. It’s the owners and employers job to pay the staff. I want to know the price of the thing I’m buying when I order it, not after taxes are added and in some places a “cost of living” fee on top of that. Then to expect the customer to pay even more on top of all the extra bs fees the house charges instead of just increasing the price of the food. No thanks
Don’t know where you live but taxes are always a thing, welcome to America. All bills show EXACTLY what you are paying for, if you don’t want to tip or change the tipping culture than do it, otherwise TIP your servers or fuck off and get take out, it’s not that fucking hard!
Honestly, people in my community are amazing! I get well over 20% most of the time, very rarely will I get $0 tips and honestly it’s from teenagers or young adults who shouldn’t be “dining in” if they don’t have a tip after food costs! (Go fast food or take out, don’t punish me because you don’t have money for a tip!)
Other than this one mid age douche that comes in every other week and orders like $40-50 worth of food and NEVER tips! I ignore his table if I am busy. People pay me for food and SERVICE and if I know you aren’t going to tip me, I ain’t going to provide the best service!
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!

In your experience what percentage of people tipped $0 or far less than 20%?

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.

You’re right. Not sure why you’d be down voted, other than if people found your conclusion a bit heavy.
