Have you encountered this?

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?

The "I'm just doing my job" defence. Nice.
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

Cant wait for this meme to be 20k pixels tall with new screenshots when I die

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.
Absolute madness.

Stop tipping!!! no more

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

I'm surprised no one mentioned that a lot also calculate the tip after applying taxes.
Example: Meal was $40, then a 20% tip would be $8. But if taxes were $4 (making the total bill $44), then the receipt would show $8.80.

Makes me wonder how many servers out their think their customers are being cheap because they only tipped X% when in reality they actually tipped 15% or whatever before tax.

It certainly shouldn't be the default "pre-caluaclated" amount, but if I have a gift card or something, I'll still tip based on the pre-discount.
Say the bill was $100 for a group of 4 and we use a $50 gift card, I'll probably still tip the $20. Seems kinda scummy to only leave $10.
It's a terrible system that exploits people. I can't change the system, but I can do my part and tip someone fairly for the hour they've helped me out.

Maybe... but with a better haircut, lol.

Stop tipping culture. If you just stop tipping people who rely on tips, you just make their lives much harder

I went to a restaurant recently with my wife for our anniversary. Had great reviews on Google Maps above 4.5 stars. Yes I know this should not be the only indicator of a good experience, but the food sounded good and it was in a neighborhood we don't often go to. Something new.
When we got the bill, the server came to us and skipped past the food prices to the tip screen immediately. That should have been my red flag to stop and ask why she did that, but I didn't. I tipped 20%, then later found out that they already included that in the bill. So I tipped 20% on top of the total that already included 20%. Needless to say I won't be going back.

Ok genius, tell us how to stop tipping culture without stopping tipping?

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

That would be quite optimistic, but this is something I've noticed at multiple restaurants myself. I saw the tip "suggestions" were not accurate so I checked to see what numbers they might have been using and tried the after tax amount etc, but nope the numbers are just inflated artificially. It's happened with or without alcohol on the tab, with and without sale items, and I don't ever really get anything "comped" unless it's a sauce on the side or something. I wouldn't say it's a scam, but I did roll my eyes the first time I noticed it.
