When you dine out at a restaurant its always proper to tip your server but there seems to be different schools of thought how to come up with that number. So do you tip on the pre or post tax amount on the bill . Good question. Nicole brewer went to an expert in etiquette to find the answer. I got a few lessons. Who knew the American Academy of etiquette was actually founded here in the delaware valley. Now it certainly came in handy when john and terry hill wrote in to ask are you supposed to tip on the pre or the post tax amount . Its a good question, john, especially since so many of us dine out so often. When you go to a restaurant what do you tip. 20 usually. 20 . 20 . Do you base that off the pre or post tax total. Put it on the total amount. So that would be after tax. Its just easier and they deserve more. Should you tip on the pre or post tax total . You can tip on the pre tax total. Lisa ritchie is the founder of the American Academy of etiquette. She says its proper to tip on the pre tax total but encourages folks to round up. I like my way better. I feel like the most important thing is that youre generous if you received good service. For sit down wait service 15 to 20 is standard at at a buffet its 10. But not according to ritchie. I still think it should be 15 to 20 . If somebody is coming that my table i leave a little somethi something. Bartender tips are usually one or 2 per drink depending on the cost or 15 to 20 of the tab. If youre picking up i dont think i tip for take out. According to etiquette you can skip the tips but if its curb side delivery or complicated order 10 is suggested. For home delivery, 15 to 20 . Theyre waisting their gas killing their car. If its a restaurant, that you frequent often or Delivery Service that youre using, absolutely its a great way to build a relationship. If you receive bad service ritchie says you should still tip. I believe in karma a lot. Id give them a couple dollars because theyre there. And before leaving that bad review is go to the owner and let them know what happened and give them an opportunity to make it right. Think you have to be grayer. We all have bad days. Now, ritchie says if youre leaving a 20 tip on a 10 meal post tax youll end up paying about 14 cents more so its not a whole lost money when you get right down it to and when you consider that some waiters and tipped employees make 2. 13 an hour, some say its better to be generous than to row lie on the standard in etiquette, and i have to say i agree with that. Yeah. Im with you. Im going based on the total in bold print. Im not trying to save my pennies by cal can you lating the tip pre tax. Im with you all the way 20 . The wait industry is tough. It is. Youre on your feet dealing with a lot of people. Nick, good stuff. Whats your good question . Log on to cbsphilly. Com good question to submit your question.
