I usually do 20% because it's easier math

edit: only where a person interacts with me though in a serving manner like a restaurant vs. a counter

as a person that drives uber eats on the side though tips are good, I don't order food myself too expensive eg. a pizza is like $40 wtf, I'll take my flavored frozen cardboard for $5 thanks

Sales tax is 8% where I live, it's pretty simple to take that number and double it. And then you're also tipping on the subtotal and not the grand total.
