Should I tip before or after tax?

Always tip on the pre-tax amount. A suggested tip calculated on the after-tax total quietly overcharges you by roughly your local sales tax rate.

Is an automatic gratuity or service charge the same as a tip?

Yes. If an 18%–20% automatic gratuity or service charge is already printed on your check, that is the tip. Do not add another tip on the blank line unless you want to double-tip.

How much should I tip for takeout or counter pickup?

Tipping on takeout is 100% optional (0% is standard). Leaving $1–$2 or 5%–10% is generous for large or custom orders, but never mandatory.

What should I do if the receipt prompts 25% or 30%?

Standard restaurant tipping in 2026 remains 18%–20% for good service. High default prompts (25%–30%) are merchant marketing defaults, not required etiquette.
