Reply to comment by tail_ler in Richmond pretty decent tippers by ExtremeHobo

True. Call me an asshole but I always base my tip on the subtotal. Especially here now where the restaurant tax is ridiculous

Edit to those downvoting me: 20% of the subtotal is my default. Unless the service is downright bad, I rarely stray from 20%. Seeing lots of people saying 15% is within acceptable range, 15% of the post-tax total and 20% of the subtotal aren’t that different.

Ignore the downvotes. It’s common knowledge, maybe just not to some, but it is common knowledge that you tip on the subtotal. There is no point in tipping on the taxes.
