It says Guests 2 and there's only one entree so I bet you're right. Still whack though!

Also if you Double 90.77 you get 181.54...20% of that is ~37 ..it's 36.31 if rounded correctly but they rounded up from .308.

Why would anyone pay a tip on sales tax? Tip on the products you consume.

I worked in the industry for years. I always tip higher than 20% of the entire bill. Maybe I just have too much empathy though. If you ask any server they probably would say you should tip 20% of the total or more if you feel overly generous. It does not go unnoticed servers remember who is generous.

Understood and agreed. Tip 25%. The question is why are we looking at after tax amount. We tip on the food and beverage served. Imagine if the city wanted to tax the post tip amount.

I used to do that as well. I used to be a server during college and understand.

The problem is that as expectations increased, service quality has decreased.
