Im having beers at bar ordered wings and tipped $2 everything the bartender brings me.

Beer = $6

tip for beer $2

wings = $20ish

Tip for wings from bartender = $2

Total tips = $4

==============================

Same order from waitress/er = $26

Tip = $5.20

Now I know this is micro example but extrapolate this over several drinks with food and the difference swings the other way. The question remains tho, am I tipping correctly?

    Note that a lot of places tips don’t go directly to wait stuff, it is being shared to subsidize salaries of everyone. Sometimes even boss man takes a cut.

    If your tip is being taxed, thats guaranteed what is happening.

      Pretty sure the boss cant take tips legally speaking. Tax the income, let the business survive based on its ability to cover its costs.
