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

It's such a disappointment.
