Yeah, that's ridiculous. If each person puts in 20% of what they pay, you're good.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fair enough.

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.

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.
