    Wouldn’t it be simpler to just directly charge the amount with the tip after asking the customer how much they want to tip?

      I have an even more radical simplification: Just list the actual amount of money that the customer is expected to pay directly on the menu and then that same amount of money once again on the bill, just like the entire rest of the world does it!

        I agree, however I was not suggesting a better solution; i was asking why it is not done that way.

        Do you know why and can explain or do you just enjoy derailing conversations?

          Oh, I’m so sorry, did you really ask an actual question there? It seemed so obvious to me that making things simpler would make things simpler that the only possible reading in my mind was that you were making a suggestion, stated in the form of a rhetorical question. So I thought it a good idea to pile on, it wasn’t my intention to derail.
