Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 16 Nov

I went to a steakhouse with my mom yesterday. When we got the check, I saw that they automatically added 18% tip to the bill. That is not right. They shouldn’t decide for me how much tip I give them or that I give them any tip at...

Do you tip on tax?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52144) • Staten Island, New York 24 Feb 25

The restaurant we went to Saturday, it seemed like the suggested tip on the receipt was for the total amount after tax. I found that weird. It’s usually not. I never leave a tip on the total. I always calculate it based on the...

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 11 Oct 23

Does value even exist anymore? Inflation is taking money out of our pockets at every turn, and fast food has gotten outrageous along with everything else. Sure, many of these places still have "value menus," but even those value...
