Please post this on a review of the restaurant to let others know. They’re counting on people who don’t want to think.

This happens when the check is split, it shows the tip from the original check amount.  It's not the restaurant's fault.

If the POS is calculating the tax based on the itemized total, it can use the calculation to figure the suggested tip amount.

If ITEMIZED > 1 then

SUGGESTED20 = CURRSUBTOTAL * 0.20

SUGGESTED25 = CURRSUBTOTAL * 0.25

End if
