re: Tipping Etiquette Question

Tipping on alcohol is tricky. I don’t think you should have to tip 20% on a $100 bottle of wine, for example. That’s $20 for them doing the same thing as pouring the cheapest glass of wine they have. However, that server has to tip out the bartender to at the very least throw in enough to cover that.

I mean, you shouldn't be tipping on tax. The calculation should be on the before tax amount. Now, for simplicity sake do people just do it off the total number, sure. Usually it isn't making a huge difference unless it is a very big meal.

I believe your friend is just a cheap bastard who has figured out a way to rationalize leaving a shitty tip.

Cheap people are just annoying.

How about this one.........I don't tip on tax. For instance, I went to dinner the other night and the bill for the food and drinks was $118.00. It came to $127.74 after tax. The service was not necessarily great, but acceptable. I tipped 20% on the $118, not the $127.74. I don't mind tipping on the food and drinks, but I'll be damned if I'm going to also give them a tip on the $9.74 that the government extorted from me. I know it's an insignificant amount of money, but it's the principle of the matter.
This is correct. Tax has nothing to do with their cost. I take 20% of the pre-tax total and round up to the nearest dollar.

You should have kicked him in the nuts.

That's just one of the weird things your friend does. Kind of like how I calculate my 20% tip of the bill before tax, not after.

Why tip the waitress at all, then? She didn't cook the food. Silly.

Show me your friends and I’ll show you yourself.
Cheap arse bitch move on his part, I ain’t going to be around folks like that.
Enjoy your twin: you had to come here to find out it was shitty behavior.

Tipping culture as primary compensation is trashy. Employers should pay their employees a market rate and stop putting the responsibility on the customer to decide how much their employees should make.
If your system is "The customer decides how much you make" you can't bitch about the customer deciding $0 is appropriate in a voluntary transaction. If there is a minimum amount, it should be established up front, but I know businesses don't want to pay the payroll taxes associated with that.

That is a weird response because, yes, what others do influences me.

You are obviously old enough to legally drink, so you should know better than to hang around petty and cheap people UNLESS you are also like that as well.
Nothing weird about that response.

Appropriate Tipping is fair discussion game.
I don’t care if someone buys antique furniture or new livestock or goes on big game hunts.
We’re talking about tippping here.
Not a game hunt.

Tip what you want and anyone else can kick rocks since they are not paying.
