Is that pre or post tax.... TIC! :)**
Vtskier1 • 04/18/22 06:37 PM ET
Tip calculator made easy - (bill x 2)/10 rounded up to make a whole number**
B777Fr8Dog • 04/18/22 06:08 PM ET
You are not accounting for for windspeed and the corriolis effect**
HokieDan95 • 04/19/22 12:14 AM ET
I like to multiply by 0.175 or 0.2 if I feel they could use it and round up**
WilmaHokie • 04/18/22 09:42 PM ET
No..... (bill/10)*2**
turkeywinghokie • 04/18/22 07:27 PM ET
Yep. This is correct formula **
pburg_hokie • 04/18/22 11:02 PM ET
Actually they both give the same answer **

I am hoping these previous responses were TIC?**

$1 for ever $5 on the bill, + 1 if the service was good**

Nah, red wine**

Is that the place that has the nice garden eating area in the back?

Yup - go every year for Easter **

Had lunch yesterday with the family and a $225 bill...
FlintMS • 04/18/22 05:18 PM ET
So it still isn’t ringing through that servers can only bring to the table
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:39 PM ET
Excellent point.... the food was in warmers in view.
FlintMS • 04/18/22 05:49 PM ET
Short staffed wasn’t the waitstaff plan for the day, of course.**

Agree, thats why she was tipped well, and management is the reason i'll

chumley • 04/18/22 05:10 PM ET
Thread hijack: how are we dealing with carry out and even casual fast food
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 04:47 PM ET
I often tip around 20% here in NOVA, cuz I don't know how anybody gets by
hucareshokiesrul • 04/18/22 09:57 PM ET
I don't tip for take out.
HokieGator • 04/18/22 06:09 PM ET
Actually, it can be quite a bit of work to do to go
turkeywinghokie • 04/18/22 06:34 PM ET
What do the restaurant workers do differently now they didn’t do then?**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:41 PM ET
Well, almost NO service.
HokieJay • 04/18/22 07:16 PM ET
Completely different scenario though, no?**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 07:31 PM ET
?????**
HokieJay • 04/19/22 11:00 AM ET
I gave a little extra to help them through very tough times
Tank • 04/18/22 05:54 PM ET
And as God is my witness, that extra $10 kept them alive!**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 06:00 PM ET
I'm sure it didn't, but it made me feel a little better.
Tank • 04/18/22 06:03 PM ET
It’s the universal rationale, yep!**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 06:04 PM ET
Just a matter of personal preference.**
Tank • 04/18/22 06:12 PM ET
Allow dine in customers that they can give full service to…**
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 05:43 PM ET
And who do you tip, management?**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:45 PM ET
If you tip at Tony’s in Fairfax, you tip the owner!**
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 05:49 PM ET
Relevance?**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 06:02 PM ET
Irrelevance seems to be contagious.**
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 06:41 PM ET
I don't like the concept one bit, but usually go with 10% because I know
HokieNoVA • 04/18/22 05:23 PM ET
But since your philosophy has nothing to do with the restaurant’s
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:43 PM ET
Actually it's management screwing the low man. They should pay them. **
133743Hokie • 04/18/22 07:17 PM ET
But any customer’s tipping policy has no effect on that at all. But you
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 07:30 PM ET
Correct. It's managements responsibility to pay their employees, not the
133743Hokie • 04/19/22 11:01 AM ET
Is 10% on carry out screwing the low man? Feels above market to me, but
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 05:45 PM ET
Those you tip don’t set prices or policies but you think your tip
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:46 PM ET
No**
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 05:50 PM ET
I generally tip 10% for carry out.**
MP4VT2004 • 04/18/22 05:01 PM ET
Why pay at all if you have to go to the trouble of picking it
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:44 PM ET
Paying for the product and the preparation, but you know that**
133743Hokie • 04/18/22 07:19 PM ET
Still tipping hookers 25% -------------> **
FfxStationHokie • 04/18/22 05:01 PM ET
Just the tip.**
MP4VT2004 • 04/18/22 05:03 PM ET
I still tip a little higher than "normal" for delivery and haircut.
Tank • 04/18/22 04:53 PM ET
Jus round up on to a nice $5 or $10 **
VTCC 65 • 04/18/22 04:52 PM ET
Server probably quit after that. Manager will pocket the extra
hoosnowahokie • 04/18/22 04:40 PM ET
She probably went home crying**
Brown Water • 04/18/22 04:44 PM ET
Aren't you concerned about how a 22% tip will upend life on earth?**
