Does that not imply that everyone is supposed to put 20% of the total tip when the bill is split? That's news to me.
Yeah, that's ridiculous. If each person puts in 20% of what they pay, you're good.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Connie, good for you!

I think it means don't let the waitstaff get screwed over because the person you're with is cheap. Not that I know people like that or anything.

I also think what happens is some people go "ok, I owe $13 with tax and tip and Jan is $15 so here's some cash and put the rest on Joes card" and then joe Gets the receipt and says "ok, there was $8 left in the bill and I'm tipping 20% so that's...like $10? I'm generous!" But actually Joe owed a lot more an the waitress got a $2 tip total.

That's BS.
Also, it's supposed to be tip pretax, but I always tip on the total.

Isn't it like a 1 or 2% difference, if you're tipping 20% and the tax is 5 or 10%? Who actually cares?

Huh. Walter just stole an apple-flavored treat from the bunnies. Who, to be fair, did not seem that interested in eating it. That was unexpected.
Somewhere I lived the tax was 7.5% so everyone just doubled the tax to tip 15%. So that would have been pretax. I suppose it makes a difference if your spending 100s of dollars on dinner, but otherwise probably not.
