    Although if I were Phibes or TG I'd strongly suggest never getting the soup as a return customer.

    Dude, I always tip at least 20%. If I'm going to live in a barbarous society, I feel the least I can do is fit in with the natives.

    Speaking of which, I've got some nice shiny beads going cheap if you're interested.

    20% of the subtotal or the total including taxes?

    The amount including tax. I didn't even know the other thing was an option.

    If I'm honest, this is due more to laziness than generosity, as it's easy to calculate.

    Anyway, tipping should be banned. In England they give you blowjobs at the table and drive you home afterwards if you tip more than 5%. And that's just the blokes. When you visit next year make sure you ask for a happy ending over dessert.

    I was only joking

      Same. I did not know that the "etiquette" was to tip on the actual bill amount pre-tax.

        So both of us have been overly generous, despite Aqua's attempts to smear us as no-nothing foreigners who need to mind our own damn business.

        As for soup, I never eat the filthy stuff. I've heard about what Americans do to it.

                    My door dasher just messaged me that my order, which I placed two minutes ago for El Pollo Loco, isn't ready yet, but not to worry, he'll wait there for it. I guess he's fishing for an extra tip, for the inconvenience of already being in the parking lot when I happened to place the order, and the order not being ready immediately. Well he's already getting $12.50, I think that's enough.

                    Education is extremely important.

                                @taiwan_girl IS RISEN !!!

                                They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                    So both of us have been overly generous, despite Aqua's attempts to smear us as no-nothing foreigners who need to mind our own damn business.

                                    I find it really funny you take this issue so seriously.

                                    Not nearly as funny as the fact that you can't tell I'm joking 😎

                                    It takes a lot more figuring if we think you're serious.

                                      If I'm honest, this is due more to laziness than generosity, as it's easy to calculate.

                                      Anyway, tipping should be banned. In England they give you blowjobs at the table and drive you home afterwards if you tip more than 5%. And that's just the blokes. When you visit next year make sure you ask for a happy ending over dessert.

                                      Same here, I always tip based on the total (including tax) but before discounts, if any.

                                      BTW - in case anyone is dying to know, I'll usually tip 25% for pizza delivery, 20% for restaurants, bar, haircut, and 10% for scenarios like @LuFins-Dad 's above (or similarly, carside pickup from restaurants), and have shifted to 0% for basically everything else such as coffee shops, panera, jimmy johns, etc.

                                        Oops sorry, didn't realize how old the thread was. What's funny, @George-K , is when I was writing my reply I had the same thought of "if I place my order at a counter, I'm not tipping".
