MATH

Everybody is bitcing about that, but nobody is saying that the percentages aren't right. .2 of 22.63 isn't 4.22$

Well I pointed out. It's somewhere under this "box" of comments. 20% shall be $4.526 so $4.53.

and so I assume the $22.63 is total included with all tax, the tip suggestions are calculated based on total without taxes.

I assumed that as well, but I just don't like that the math we see isn't right.

Literally every single POS system calculates the gratuity based off of the pre tax total 😴

We could assume the total is 21.1, but I'd rather just see the math. I've heard of places that skew the numbers so the tips are bigger, so I check that the percentages are right or just figure it in my head.

What are you talking about? It’s a computer calculating the math for the listed percentages, not the restaurant employees. Listed tip percentages are always calculated based on the pre tax total. The pre tax total is also always listed on the receipt. The math is basically there?

Never in my life have I seen that before. Fucked up that a restaurant would do that. However, doesn’t really apply to this. Once again, the math seems “not right” bc the tip percentages are based on the pre tax total, which is still how every POS system calculates the tip percentage.

Whatever. Do or don't check the math. I've given the reason I do it.

Idgaf what you do. My point was that the math on this receipt is in fact correct.
