While we're at it, is it really going to break the bank to calculate the tip on the total check, not on the the pre-tax amount? These servers work very hard, and it isn't just the physical work that is exhausting. The tough part is putting up with some really difficult customers. I think most customers in TV treat the restaurant staff very well but it only takes a small minority to make the job miserable for the restaurant workers and we've all seen customers berating servers in our local restaurants.

The first part was tongue in cheek.
The part about the post tax calculation is just an observation that the restaurant's software is pulling a fast one.
I don't use percentages anyway. The other day, I undertipped at OG because the server had his head up his backside...after three requests, he brought the breadsticks...I was done with the salad by then. Two days later, I tipped ten bucks on a $32 bill at Lighthouse because I thought we were treated courteously and efficiently.
