Also noticing the cost of lockers in parks that you must have to store your bags as they can’t go on ride or be stored. I’m sure you used to get 30/45 mins free then charged. Now it’s $2/3 here or there which adds up.
That is only at Universal and I believe the small lockers are still free.

Was at Universal in May for a week and don't remember paying for a locker when on the rides.

I don't think I've ever tipped at a buffet restuarants unless we are talking for breakfast a la sizzlers then i think we left 1 dollar each because they do bring your drinks and top up coffee.

I think if I was paying 200 USD pp for a meal no way would I tip $80

$80 for a waiter unskilled work. for bringing 3-4 meals to your table you are having a laugh.

Being a waiter in a restaurant that charges $200 a person is not an unskilled job and they certainly do more than bring plates to the table.

If you're paying that type of money a head then I'm sure the tip is the least of your worries

Busch charges for the small lockers now. They used to be free, now they charge $1. A nice little money maker when most of the rides wont allow loose articles.

No option for 18% rounded to create the nearest dollar total... this is what we did last time in Disney parks as it was all charged to the room, at IHOP and such it depended on the service and what cash we had (we ended up with the same lady each time on our last trip so she got a good amount off us in the end!)

Is the tips before or after the tax?
I’m sure the receipt will work it out for me though won’t it?

Tip on the pre tax total, most receipts show a 15/18/20% amounts pre calculated to help you.
