But that isn't the point. The point is the user I commented to didn't want to feel obligated or coerced to tip. He wanted the same feeling he gets at a car dealership. So ok, add the 20% the business neglected to include and leave it at that.
Just to clarify, some people think tips can be pooled and shared with the kitchen staff. This is not true. If tips are pooled, they can only be shared with other servers or other "tipped" employees. Tipped employees are treated differently from non-tipped employees for income tax purposes.
