Why should the tip be based on the cost of the food it you are tipping for good service? It just does not make much sense to me.
That was my point/question.
I calculate the tip (for the service) based on the amount of the bill. When, actually, that doesn't make sense -- or does it?
BTW, I tip 15-20% of the total bill.
(And, when I've paid by credit card, I usually paid the server in cash - from the time I learned server's have to declare tips.)
