$5 hit. Tip amounts in 15% and 20%, can split the check and tip up to 5 ways. That's pretty freaking nifty

Splitting is cool, but anyone who can't calculate a tip in their head sucks at life.

 

[So]

If you can't do tip percentages in your head, you're in trouble...

if you're happy
move decimal over, multiply by 2.
If you're pissed
move decimal over
otherwise
move decimal over, divide by two add result of steps one and two

and round up or down to the nearest $0.50 to make it simple.

This thread reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry bought his dad a $200 personal organizer that he used solely as a tip calculator. It was the episode where his dad tried to get Kramer elected as condo board president so he could run things in a sort of puppet regime.

bingo. It amazes me to how many people can't calculate tip, even a simple 10%. And we have this functionality in all our phones... why would I want to PAY to have it on my ipod? And how often do I have my ipod in a restaurant...

g0dd@mn are you people too lazy/stupid to figure out what a small percentage is, or even to estimate it?

I just give them whatever the tax amounts to (14% here)

14%? Holy ******. It's like 7.6% here.

mother@#@%@ 14%?!? I usually go by "double the tax" (8.25% here) but i think you get a pass on that one.

 

[LS20]

1. take your tax, multiply by 2, round up by a dollar or more

2. if group check, add your SUBTOTAL, multiply 1.25

if you cant figure out .25x , the only thing you should be eating is mashed food through a straw

Why would someone need a calculator for this? Let's say you believe ~12% is where it's at.

For $10, that's $1.20. For a $6x check, $1.2x6=$7.2
Round it off to $7.50 or $8.

A 10-year-old could do this in under 3 seconds.

well, 6% Federal, 8% Provincial so 14%...

And when you tag on the income tax (1/3), my effective salary is down to 52%... before mortgage, essential bills and other taxes.

Wow. Do you even come close to getting your money back in gov't services? We don't even have a state income tax in my state. So we just have the federal income tax and property taxes.

Personally? No. But I am sure someone else is getting services. I am only pissed at the waste, I don't mind supporting the less-incomed. And I just heard property tax is going up again... I call myself the 'perceived rich'. And unlike the states, mortgage is not tax deductible.

Work in the restaurant industry once and you'll tip.

I tipped more before I worked as a waiter/bartender. The sense of entitlement of people in the food service industry is out of control.

I wasn't worried about their (the waiters) wellbeing, I am worried about my food's 'cleanliness' next time I am there.
