Although normally the difference is small.

I would say that the majority of people who go out to eat, don't want to think.. They don't think "pre-tax" "after-tax" I would like to think "pre-tax" because I am hoping the public can wake up. But, the difference, sometimes, is small. So, in that case, I'm grateful for what I get.

You include tax typically, but exclude for alcohol.
In other words, tip only about 5% for the alcohol portion when eating at a table. If you are at the bar, tip the bartender whatever you feel the service is worth.

IT'S BASED ON ..."PRE-TAX"...BUT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT WILL JUST TAKE THE "FINAL-RESULT" AND
TIP ON THAT...EVEN IF THE TAX IS 7% ON A BUCK...HOW MUCH "OVER" CAN A PERSON OVER TIP...NOT ENOUGH TO "REALLY" MAKE A DIFFERENCE....

When it's added to your bill, it should be pre-tax. Our servers used to get in trouble for not doing that.

I believe it's pre-tax, but you're right, the difference is almost nil, usually.

Are you really so cheap that you figure out your tip so precisely? Just estimate 20 percent and then leave a little more than that.

I just look at the total and figure 20% or more of that.
