Something I noticed at a restaurant a few weeks ago in Alexandria and my wife noticed this week in Florida. Take a close look at your bills before you pay at a restaurant. I read mine thoroughly and noticed that the 15%, 18%, and 20% suggested tips were not correct. The numbers were close to double the tip when I calculated them. A lot of people will blindly click the tip they normally do only to find out later that they've paid double in tips for their service. I don't know how widespread this is, but it would be interesting to find out. There must be a manual way to alter those tips on some systems.

Yeah, pay the tip in cash only and do your own math.

I select 'other' if it's there, and enter $0. Then tip with cash.

I found that they include the tax in the tip. Not just the cost of the meal.

Royal Farms Coming Soon To Lexington Exchange

Wish they would tear down that POS Birdies at 235 and Hollywood/L-town road and put this Royal Farms there. That place is a laughing stock of a gas station. Pumps only 1/2 work, parking and driving in there is miserable, pumps are slow, and they always charge 10-20 cents more per gallon than nearby stations. Frankly, I am surprised people still get gas there and they are still open.
