I'm not going to opine if it was used properly, but it is a very common word.

Google is your friend. It's usually particularly helpful, when publicly correcting someone who might not be as wrong as you think.

Post a link to one real dictionary that has it. Please, no urban slang.

20% on top of the taxed amount, 25% if the service is exceptional...

30% at lower priced establishments... They work just as hard, but make less due the lower price points...

Does that satisfy your expectations?

and tippage is not a word

He took the 3.75% (the credit card fee?) off of his 20% tip, leaving a 16.25% tip. Hence the $22.10...

136 x 16.25% = 22.10

When it comes to tipping, I usually go with flow, except that I will not tip anything for bad service. I feel like I am helping to improve the server's performance.

But, I am surprised at how many people apparently believe that the server has no responsibilty or accountability for the overall quality of the restaurant. If the restaurant is bad, or is overcharging, then the server should accept some responsibiIty because they are a key part of the business. They can influence management decisions, and they can also choose to work somewhere else.

So before you can write another diatribe, I am disengaging since it is obvious from this and other threads that you are a "last word" type of person

Sure... Tipping "over" the commonly accepted rate, by an amount that I want to pay makes me "hypocritical"... Do you even read what you post?

You were criticized for punishing a server for something out of their control. You sure showed them!

Oh, and you're still using "tippage" incorrectly...

[QUOTE=roob1;2271853]What is your take on surcharges and convenience fees applied to credit card sales in Florida? Just paid one today, and noted that Sumter County applies surcharge to tax bills paid by credit card

Let's face it, Credit issuing is a business, whatever the traffic will bare probably applies. After all these years, doubt people will ever return to a cash society.. but of course who knows what world might look like in the future. A chip planted directly into you that records you bank account balances ? Meanwhile, our "politicians" know where most of these companies are headquartered primarily in Delaware, and could make it illegal IF they wanted to, but doubt there would be any "will", CC companies probably heavily contribute to both political parties, who would want to chop down the golden money tree ! We "could" try to resist by paying in cash as much as possible, but that's really inconvenient to impossible in some places. I've read of people who protest additional charges if having to put property taxes on their credit cards... they get thousands of dollars in pennies and take them to the tax office. Enough days like that, and any surcharges "might" be eliminated. I have lived in counties where taxes can be paid via cc with no "surcharge", the country appreciated the quick, easy, process as it saved them a great deal on $$$ opposed to the paper work and recording and human hours needed to process and record cash and checks !
