I discovered something nefarious the last time I was at a restaurant that prints "suggested" percentage tips at the bottom of the bill.

Amount looked "off" to me - even though I'm math-impaired. So I calculated it on my phone.

The supposed "18% tip" was actually almost 25%, and the others were similarly off by a substantial amount - upwards.

I'm very disappointed as it's one of my favorite restaurants. Guess I'll speak to the owner.

Did they base it on the bill plus tax?
