I posted about not tipping tax because it's a principle I believe in. Regardless if I'm in a state with no sales tax or a state with a 7% sales tax, my server is getting tipped based solely on their level of service, and not benefiting from additional income (or losing income) because of how their state/city/county chooses to tax. That's what tips are for. If you found yourself in a city with a 15% sales tax, would you feel the same way about tipping on the total bill? And why should the server at a restaurant where there's no sales tax get a smaller tip for providing the same  level of  effort serving you?

The topic was about things one does out of principle. I wasn't  expecting that to devolve into yet another thread on tipping.

FTR, I also came out of the foodservice industry. Because of that experience, when I receive outstanding service, I not only tip generously, but will also say something to the manager/owner or drop an email to corporate praising the server by name.
