Maybe not. If you are going to take it out on the servers, please tell them what you are doing so that they'll know you are just being unfair, instead of cheap.

Yes- I wrote the following on the receipt- "I subtracted the credit card surcharge form your 20% tip- please express your dissatisfaction with mgmt"

Well, that certainly taught your server a lesson. You would rather punish the undeserving than speak to the management yourself.

Pretty cheap tip to begin with, btw...

20 % is pretty standard-
And your going rate of tippage Big Spender ?

136 x 20% = 27.20

27.20 - 3.75 = 23.45

and tippage is not a word

"Tippage" certainly is a word and in common use.

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.

I stated I subtracted 3.75% (not 3.75 dollars)

136 x 20% =27.20
136 x 3.75% =5.10

27.20-5.10=22.10

You're welcome

My bad, your original post looked like you meant $3.75 not 3.75%, or I misinterpreted it.

Apparently Webster's online isn't quite as accurate as they used to pride themselves on.

I used Google per your suggestion and could not find "tippage" defined in any real online dictionary. It's obviously not a proper word.

Just scroll up a couple of posts.

& you're right, most online dictionaries don't seem to have the word, but it's been in common usage for at least 40 years that I know of. Ask any truck driver who's ever been to a "dump", landfill or disposal site, almost without exception they'll tell you they pay "Tippage Fees". (I'll agree that other uses of the word are more obscure.)
