    Why would you calculate the tip before the final amount? And why would that incorrect amount be printed out for the customer?

      It certainly shouldn’t be the default “pre-caluaclated” amount, but if I have a gift card or something, I’ll still tip based on the pre-discount.

      Say the bill was $100 for a group of 4 and we use a $50 gift card, I’ll probably still tip the $20. Seems kinda scummy to only leave $10.

      It’s a terrible system that exploits people. I can’t change the system, but I can do my part and tip someone fairly for the hour they’ve helped me out.
