It's a poll. It updates every time someone else votes. They don't have to leave a comment.

Depends on what the majority of DIBBers vote for. 89.87% of them may vote for 55, 60 or 65, with only 4 votes for 90, and the average age that is considered to be old might be calculated as 57.5. :)

What I was trying to say is that the voting options provided presupposed that we would mostly choose 15%, 18% or 20%.

I know. But the difference is pretty small. It amounts to about $1 extra tip on a $100 meal (eg. tipping $19 instead of $18). It's not really worth bothering about whether it is pre- or post- tax.

There isn't an option for 0%. For those people who don't tip.
