I do not like restaurants that use a scan & order system that then asks for a tip during the order.

A tip is for good service. If you haven't served me and can't even bother to have a human take my order then why should I tip first?

Today, my daughter and I went to Ramen Champ, which has great food and the service is usual good.

We ordered two of the same ramen meal and I gave a 18% tip.

Two of the same dish (Miso Ramen), what came out?

My daughter's was missing meat. Mine was completely wrong -- I got a surprise of a spicy dish, leaving my mouth burning from the spice.

They did fix things. But, had I known that things would have gone this way, i would have not given a 18% tip.

Maybe I should carry around cash. Don't pre-tip and then leave a cash tip at the end.

I only tip for sit down, full service. My tip is for the server, who has taken my order and served my meal and drinks, not the back of house to subsidize shitty wages.

I've done that, where I've pre-tipped and then the food wasn't right.

It's such a disappointment.
