- jaep1 2mo agoYes, tip use to be around 15%, but now default close to 20%. We call it tipflation. We added tip + tax calculation on the page so you know what you are getting into as well =)
- jerlam 2mo agoIt depends on the type of establishment. A full service restaurant where you are directed to a table, someone takes your order, then brings food to you, and then you pay would require a tip, because that is considered service. A counter service restaurant or cafe where you walk up to a counter, give your order, pay, then pick up your food and find your own table would not require a tip.
- jaep1 2mo agoYes, it might be just me, but sometime I feel like I am strongly encourage to tip, even on a togo order these days..
- BrandoElFollito 2mo agoTrue. Still showing 10$ when it is actually 11.75$ because there is a random tax is really, really insane. I truly wonder why the US does this when the rest of the world does not.
- astura 2mo agoBecause sales tax is hyper-localized in America there is not a rule saying you can advertise the pre-tax price.
