Why do I always get blamed for these things?

I mean, it is a very logical assumption, but still...

Okay, that made me laugh heartily, which is a bad thing to do at work because then I have to explain why I was laughing.

Anyway, I agree you tip on pre-discount but you also tip on pre-tax. Those pretty much net out in this case.
My rule of thumb is that all servers get 20%, regardless of location and regardless of alcohol vs. not (and you probably won't find me ordering a $500 bottle of wine). Bad service gets less and when exceptional, I give more. I also tend to round up.

Also, I tip post-tax, but that is just me. I accept that other's opinions vary on this.

Is it safe to post my address here?
