Remove the apostrophe from "tip's". It may well be that you meant "tip is included", but it could also be interpreted as poor grammar.

  Not that "tip's" is a valid abbreviation for "tip is," anyhow. EDIT: Sorry. Don't know what I was thinking. I will refrain from deleting this comment so as to not leave future readers wondering about replies, but I would appreciate if it's not up- or down-voted any longer.

    It's not?

    "Just $29 per wash, tip is included" isn't great wording, certainly, but is there anything wrong with saying "tip's"? I mean, certainly it's not formal, but then neither are pretty much all contractions in English. "Your tip's included in the bill" would sound fine, no?

      Is "is" even required? "Just $29 per wash, tip included"

        Well yeah, that;s what I meant about it not being great either way - I was just disagreeing with parent comment about "tip's" not being a valid contraction.

          "tip's" leaped out at me too - was just going to bitch about it here. I understand the "tip is" contraction. But it still sounds weird, still sounds like a plural. Un-contracted it would read "Just $29 per wash, tip is included". If that read "Just $29 per wash, THE tip is included" or "Just $29 per wash, THE tip's included" it wouldn't have made me cringe.
