This is the coolest trick since I learned about the “quick 20% tip on your tab” method. Take the total bill, move the decimal point one place over to the left, then multiply it by 2 to get 20% gratuity. I will sometimes round down on the change to make it closer to 18%. Also I only really need to do this when I’m drunk and can’t maths.

Why would you multiply by 2? 10% is a good tip.

As long as wages are supplemented by customers, the restaurant industry will never pay their employees a fair wage.

I don’t like tip culture either, but I’m not going to stiff the guy making federal minimum wage.

If I’m drunk and having a good time, 20% seems fair to me. You can pay whatever you think is fair, I’m not passing judgement on that account.

Yeah, no one wants to be that guy, so here we already are tipping.
