Well, the Roman numeral M is 1000, so this is a pretty good tip. Not sure about the rest, but hey I'll take.
I'm good at math except after more than one drink. Ngl, I really like it when the bill has a list of percentages and totals to preview. I'd like it even more if we just charged what food and labor cost and got rid of this nonsense though.
Move the decimal one place left and double it for 20%. Do it for the sub total if you prefer not to tip on tax.
Been doing this for years. I evangelize it all the time, and people still don't understand, or they try to make it more complicated than it is. But it's literally THIS easy, so easy. It's not even math at this point, especially if you only double the dollar amount and ignore the change, a kindergartener could do it.
Yet people refuse to learn a "new weird way".
You don't have to understand it, just do it. This is literally the easiest way. I will die on this hill.
I expressed my displeasure of these tickets at a bar I work at to one of my coworkers. They then pointed out that in Toast POS you can just punch in the total bill and it generates the tip for you
TIL
Oh that's good to know, I used to do math and then realized I'm probably being an asshole and stopped.
MATH RETURNS BABY!
Remember math? It’s back, in pog form!
Oh I remember pogs. My brother's we're huge into them. I was just a bit too old for that fad to hit me. I was a Garbage Pail kid!
Phones have calculators.
FYI, most places will just use the total if there's anything wrong with your math (assuming it's at least what you owe) so this is perfectly valid.
Weird, the restaurant I worked at always went with the tip line if there was any discrepancy.
The addition is the hard part though, calculating the tip amount is easy. Can you write in just the tip amount and let them figure it out at the POS?
Every system I've used and currently use you enter the tip amount, so writing how much you want to tip is actually fine. Though I'll usually ask for you to write in the total or ask if it's fine if I do. Technically the cc company cares about that line in case of disputes.
Idk why people don't just give whole number tips. It's so much easier to just add $5 to something
Because it's easier to have a flat 50 out then 47.15.
Didn't realize my grandfather was alive and we're still balancing checkbooks by hand
Ever heard of cash?
Then you wouldn’t need to fill out a receipt like this.
GOTEEM!
Sacré bleu You mean they stopped producing do 6buck coin ? /j
$7.83
My method:
Jesus brother, what the hell
What's the problem with this method? I figure out tips through mental math, without any paper. This is just explaining how I do that mental math
Yeah you did it in the hardest way possible hahaha
Just subtract 17 from 100 to get the cents. 83. There, done. Or at least 100 - 10 - 7
I can't do mental math that easily. I struggle with visualizing it, I think better in multiples of 5, and subtraction is more intuitive to me
Three cents to $42.20
Eighty cents to $43.00
Seven dollars to $50
Seven eighty-three!
Mine:
I think, anyway. I can mostly just look at it and know.
This is how AIs do math
This is how I do mental math. Figuring out (100-15)-2 is a lot easier than 100-17
For me 100-20+3 is easier, but yeah
my method: calculator
I used to do calculators for tips, but noticed my mental acuity slipping. I started calculating tips in my head to keep myself sharp
People always say math when they just mean arithmetic.
For the general public that's a distinction without a difference
Yeah but for those of us who actually studied math, it's silly. Rote arithmetic barely qualifies, you hardly even see actual numbers in math except for a handful of single digit integers for exponents, subscripts, coefficients, etc.
It's like calling a golf cart a "sports car".
Sadly yes
I say maths
Found the Brit.
I say arithmetics
Perhaps they expected the server to use geometry to come up with the answer...
ω?
I know that constant. It has something to do with imaginary numbers if I remember correctly. Right?
Not that one, this ω.
Since ω > n for all natural numbers n, it’s clear that 50^ω is a very big number indeed!
the nerdiest possible interpretation of a scribbled 00
