Common Mistakes to Avoid
⚠️
Not including tip in per-person split
Always split the total including tip. $100 dinner for 4 with 20% tip = $120/4 = $30, not $25 each.
⚠️
Tipping on discounted amounts
Tip on the original bill, not the post-discount price.
⚠️
Under-tipping service workers
18-20% is standard for good service; US servers typically earn a tipped minimum wage and rely heavily on tips.
