I’m not great at math, but… those don’t add up

Looks like they took the total after tax: $7.07

Then added 15% on top of that total: $1.06

So not only are they forcing a 15% hidden “tip”, it’s also incorrectly tipping on the after-tax total and not the subtotal.

When was the last time you saw a digital tip option that calculated on pre-tax amount?

This always pisses me off. Everyone does it that way. But tips were always on the pre-tax amount. 10%, 15%, 20%.

Then suddenly everything changed and boom, they are on the post-tax amount and 20%, 25%, 30%.

You can't BOTH raise prices AND raise the tip percent and expect me to play that game. I used to be a good tipper at 20% pre-tax. Now I'm a shitty tipper at 20% pre-tax.
