My Dad taught me that as a kid. I’m extremely supportive of wait staff, and I’m an excellent tipper (25% is not unusual), but I’m not tipping on tax. I draw the line there.

How is that different than tipping 22% (or whatever) on the post-tax? I swear people lose all rationality when it comes to tips.

  Probably nothing, but it just makes sense to tip on the actual bill. Why am I tipping the government tax?
  
  So now I have to figure the tip before tax, then after tax, then decide which I want to pay, etc. just pay the pretax bill. Why is that controversial?
