Isn't gratuity based on pretax total?
I always tip on the total with tax personally, so you probably "proved your point" an didn't even know it.
Ex. $45.87+9%tax= $50 ($10 tip is 20%)
An 18% grat would be $8.26, or 16.5% of the tax total, so at most your griping about 1.5%

No lol.
The check had the amount.
the tip and on the credit card print out, it had the two numbers combined.
I was grated I know when a grat has been added to a check. It wasn't really a big deal. I'm going to break my future step daughters away from only eating Applebee's, Olive Garden and Casa Garcia.
