This is obviously intentional and we need to know who is doing this. As long as you are factual, you should name the place, so we can ALL watch for this crookedness. I'll bet the servers know it is incorrect (and in their favor).

Try writing on the check: "My calculation is that 20% tip = $1.43 ".

That'll get the servers to force the management to correct it.
