Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax bill?
Etiquette varies. In the US and Canada, tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is common; elsewhere, rounding up or a service charge may be the norm.
How do I split unevenly?
Use the per-person figure as a baseline. For uneven shares, allocate the total by what each person ordered plus a proportional tip.
