I went to Subway the other day and ordered 2 subs. The cashier rang my order and gave me a total of $17 and change. I paid with a card and tapped it on the pay terminal. The cashier thanked me and put the receipt in the bag of food. By the time I got home I got the notice from my credit card showing my transaction total as $21 and change. I was confused so I looked for the receipt in the bad and saw that he added a $3.30 tip to the order. I was not asked for a tip, nor given the option on the pay terminal. When I tapped my card to pay there was no total. It only said to insert or tap to pay. I was trusting the cashier since he said $17 something.
Extorting tips that way is unacceptable in my opinion.

..... My brother who delivered pizza for a few years in college says this is pretty common with pizza deliveries to add $5. He said he never did it but a few of the other delivery guys made a killing doing this because most people don't check and by the time they pay the bill they've forgotten. Be aware. Don't allow yourself to be cheated.

So if I'm reading the above posts correctly, people actually pay 25% more than I'm already paying for my meal. I just did a fine dining shop where I tipped about 21% because it was reimbursed up to that amount.
If it wasn't reimbursed people actually pay another $7,50 above the $30 I've already tipped for a 90 minute stellar server? More power to you and can I start working where you dine?
When does tipping become overboard? It used to be 10% and I had a hard time convincing my parents that Dallas was at least a 15% town. Now I tip 20% in a much smaller town, Are we now supposed to tip 25%?

If a server makes zero in tips by law the employer still has to pay them minimum wage. Tips only supplement the employer's portion of the wages.

i personally would still not tip even if it’s reimbursed because i don’t want to create an expectation.

Every time I have encountered a shop where the tip is reimbursed, it has been a required tip. Often even the percentage is stated.@LindaM wrote:

If I am sitting and you take my order, bring my food and refill my drinks then I will tip 20% all day long. If your are taking my order and handing me a bag of food I will not tip you. I am also not tipping you for making an ice cream cone. I am not tipping at Sonic or Five Guys. Tipping is out of control.
