I look at it as Actual price = menu price + lowest suggested tip + $5 tip awkwardness penalty. So a place near me has a $12 lunch-size sub sandwich that's really good. But they ask for a 15% tip. So rather than just never eat at my favorite sandwich spot, I regard it as a $18.80 lunch and only buy it on rare occasions or when my company is paying.

You're tipping at a sandwich shop? Do they even bring you the sandwich and fill your drink for you?

[-] PeroBasta@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

You tip a fastfood?

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

If I'm getting it to go, no tip. Or just the tip.

[-] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

Same. I multiply any restaurant price by 4/3 to account for taxes, fees, and tips when determining if I want to go.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Taxes and fees should included in the price, in civilised countries anyway. That sounds like such a pain.

[-] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

They are included in the price in civilized countries. It is only a very very limited number of places where you can't hand a cashier $5 to pay for something literally labelled $5 and then walk out.

I think the guy you replied to is from the US.

I hate American math

Thanks for subsidizing my $12 sandwiches I guess lol. That sure helps me out! Don't think it helps the servers much in the long run though.
