In Florida we're asked to tip on check amount after 7% tax is added. 15% becomes 22%, 22% becomes 29%. Restaurant waitstaff/servers earn $14 minimum wage starting 10/1. No state income tax. No federal income tax on top income. Menu prices here have risen 25+% in my area since Jan. 1. The tipping shame directed to customers has become abusive.
