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.

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.

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.

Quite obviously through regulation.

Sorry to inform you, but I've been told recently that 20% is now considered bare minimum and cheap. Yes, I eat out a lot less accordingly.

Complain loudly while you tip?

Pass a law that removes the minimum wage exemption for "tipped" professions.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I got chewed out on reddit once for being "cheap" because I said tip before the tax. Guy was super pissed over what amounts to a difference of cents. Went off on a huge rant belittling me like I admitted to murdering puppies..
Like... Dude, if your whole life comes crashing down over 40¢, to the point that's your reaction, maybe there's a much bigger problem going on here?

I think the only chance this will work is moving somewhere it’s not a thing.

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.
If the worker or anyone else not gonna unionise or protest the government for a better minimum wages, then the culture gonna continue. Slammin and jammin the establishment will do absolutely nothing, as with all non-disruptive protest.
I swear tipping is fetishized by american.

Are you comparing the waitress not proofreading the math on a preprinted receipt (arguably not their job) to soldiers actively committing war crimes?
No. Soldiers are very much protected from such orders in most countries. They can't be held responsible for refusing to follow an illegal order.
I mostly hear the argument from civilians helping their employer commit crime.
