    Let’s see… dollar sign? Well that cuts out a lot of the world. Written in English, so that leaves about 3 countries. Australia doesn’t have a tipping culture the same way we do in North America so that leaves either Canada or the US, in which case you can replace state with province and cover your bases.

      Percentages on the tip are lower than US tip amounts. So I would guess not US, though this would obviously happen in the states.

        Do other countries itemize tax separately? I thought the US was alone on that.

        Also, 9.5% is in line with sales tax in a few US states, as is calling it tax instead of VAT (or similar)

        Good catch, I didn’t even notice the percentages. I did look at the date but of course the meal was purchased on the one day this month where that’s not helpful

      Don’t forget New Zealand. They do tip down under, but it sounds like they don’t recommend tips the same way.

      Yeah, sure, the jist applies everywhere. OP could have saved words just saying “representitives”. That’s the part that was interesting, and now people are big butthurt I pointed it out.

        I mentioned all 3 because people (at least around me) tend to forget the first 2, despite those being much easier to make these types of changes.
