It's probably basing the tip on a pre discount amount.
The writer is proud of doing math but should be ashamed of their critical thinking and ego.
Did you just make up a scenario and then try to shame them for not using the critical thinking you just invented?

I'm guessing the tip is calculated before any discounts/comps, which would be conspicuously cut off in this photo

That's usually the way the tip calculator works and the top of the receipt is missing.
What's more likely a computer screwed up a percentage, a company screwed the customer for the benefit of the employee or the calculator is following common tipping convention.
Like I said critical thinking.

I've seen this out and about. It's not uncommon.

It's closer to $6.11. I do math
Yeah, I'll tip you 20%, but I'll be damned if I don't round down because of your petty scam!

You tip in Canada? I was hoping this sad culture was limited to usa.
Unfortunately...
-
Asterisk: there is such a thing as "minimum wage for tipped workers", which is lower than the normal minimum wage. At least in some provinces.
For instance, in Quebec, the normal minimum wage is $16.10 per hour, but for tipped workers, it's $12.90$.
And yes, my reaction to this is also "what the fuck".
Here in the states, the minimum for tipped workers is $2.13. Also, the federal minimum wage for nontip is $7.25. And they wonder why we can't afford McDonald's over here.

Pretty sure the waitress wasn't the one who fucked with the register. Probably the restaurant trying to ensure they don't have to pay the difference if the tips come up short and leave the staff below minimum wage.
The "I'm just doing my job" defence. Nice.

In Canada they just bring you the payment machine and it asks the percent you want to tip. There is a physical bill but its only used by the server to know what to enter really
Same in most of the world. Sucks that these machines brought tipping to places it didn't exist before. Used to be only shitty tourist trap restaurants asked for tips in Stockholm. Now all the machines do.
Remember kids. Never tip, ever.

That would be a reason to throw hands (okay, I'd consider it for a second and then calm down but still!), and I'd definitely leave without paying, nvm the tip, lol. You'd be lucky if I didn't scream cause I randomly found a cockroach in my coffee or something.
Karen? That you?

Are you comparing the waitress not proofreading the math on a preprinted receipt (arguably not their job) to soldiers actively committing war crimes?
-
I feels like reasoning like this is why it would never end.
Shafting the waitress is not going to end it either. Most people wouldn't notice this, so they'd still keep doing it if you didn't tip.
The play here is to tip the waitress in cash if possible and slam the establishment on every review site.

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.

Sad thing is regular minimum is only $7.25 at the federal level. This country absolutely despises it's workers.
But nobody wants to work anymore!!!
/s

Yep, that's a solid 0% for me
Yeah that restaurant owner will certainly learn from the fact that they don’t legally have to pay their servers minimum wage and you still paid the owner what they would have gotten whether or not the server got a tip
As another commenter said, in this situation pay the server in cash, and then review the restaurant badly everywhere you can

Stop tipping!!! no more

Why would you calculate the tip before the final amount? And why would that incorrect amount be printed out for the customer?
-
How sketchy has to be the scam so it justifies just leaving without paying?
Some scams i have encounter:
- added 3 pints per customer
- added things we didnt ask for (when asked about it, they said something on the lines "we forgot to charge that on another table, someone has to pay for it"
- menu prices weren't up to date
“we forgot to charge that on another table, someone has to pay for it”
Da fuq?
I haven't seen this. Name and shame this place?
