A great video on the various scams restaurants are using these days to trick you into tipping more.

I myself have noticed the recent proliferation of tip amounts printed on the receipt which are calculated on your bill total. They're almost always calculated on the post-tax total, which I discount. Especially here in California, where the taxes are the highest in the country, no way am I paying
a tip for the tax.
I actually tipped 30% recently. I ordered some chicken from churches and I
got a text from the driver when she got there was told that it wouldn’t be ready for her to pick up for 20 minutes. She asked if I wanted to wait and
said she didn’t mind and I said great and bumped her tip up.
I’ve actually started tipping Uber rides 100% if I use their assisted rides because they are wildly discounted. It costs me like four dollars to go to
the doctor.
