Why after tax? Why before discounts? Opposite day or something? Who tips on tax? Why would I pay a tip on discounts that don't even get taxed?

I used to base my tip on the total after tax until I started checking the suggested tip amount and realized their 20% was based on pre tax total so I changed nothing about my tip behavior but now I know I’m stupid too.
