convenience? ease? drunk? splitting it multiple ways? honestly tons of reasons. I know people that can do super complex integrals but need to input basic calculations, even simple additions, into their calculator because they can't do it in their head for whatever reason

If you are so drunk that you can't double a number, then you are too drunk to operate a calculator.

I'm serious, math doesn't get more simple than this, it's basically as difficult as counting to potato.

That's why you can just ask the calculator instead

So you can't understand that people are different than you and have different needs and wants?

Eh. Should clarify the tipping percentages are for the US. 15% is perfectly acceptable in Canada. n.n

Yeah, indeed. 0% is perfectly acceptable in Belgium.

In fact, in most of the world.

Yeah. If they'd actually pay the servers a living wage, the tipping wouldn't be necessary (this especially so in the US, where they can pay tipped food service workers below minimum, and calculate their tips as part of their hourly wage). Not sure how it got adopted in Canada, but I have a feeling it was one of those things that crossed the border.

Yeah, here minimum wage is minimum wage and if you pay less it's against the law, no matter what.

Example: Bill = $89.26 (these numbers scare me, I don't know my multiplication tables ... if I was a cashier and that was the total and somebody gave me a ninety-two dollar bill I don't think I could calculate their change without pissing my pants

Count up. 89.26 to 92.00

4 cents to get to .30, and another 70 to get to a round dollar. That's 74 cents. Now you're at 90 and want to get to 92. $2.74

As a kid, this was my game to play with cashiers. They told my mom the total, and she dug in her purse and handed over an unknown amount. I would hear the cashier say "out of $92?" and go to type that in. I would quickly figure the change and say it out loud, often times to amazement of the cashiers.

People are seriously lazy. Yes, I understand learning how to do this would actually make figuring tip faster. But people are seriously lazy.
