I originally thought it was tacky when a restaurant would put suggested tip amounts at the bottom of your check. You know, 15% would be this much, 20% would be this much, etc. However, I am bad at math. Especially at a restaurant after I've had a heavy meal and a glass of wine or a martini. So I've actually come to appreciate these helpful calculations as long as they are realistic. For example, I like when 15%/18%/20% are listed but not when the listing starts with 20% - too presumptuous. My husband thinks it is all ridiculous as he can do percentages quickly in his head. What do you all think?
