Glad to see others have common sense. Also with coupons, gift cards, or other discounts - you saved money which is even more reason to tip on the ORIGINAL amount. The server shouldn't suffer because you got a deal. Same with if something was taken off the bill because you didn't like it, or it wasn't what you expected etc. That isn't the servers fault. They still have to tip out host/busser/bartenders and pay taxes based on the total amount regardless of your discount!
