I think I would have to be spoon fed to even consider anything in the
40% range.
What REALLY makes me postal about tipping is that in Canada restaurant
meals are subject to the GST and the credit card terminals (most of
whom allow tipping on %age of bill though almost always have a dollar
amount option) ALWAYS do their %age calculation on the final figure
including the tax.
Since I refuse to tip on tax I always to do calculation mentally and
am good enough at math that I do get it right.
