15 per cent of 11.75 is $1.76.
18 per cent of 11.75 is $2.12.
You may not tip $2 on a beer, but I expect most people at the Saddledome do.

All of those card readers have a cancel button. People who tip $2 for a guy who turns around and hands you a beer are the worst kind of sheep. They help to enable the issue. Put a tip function on literally any kind of purchase at a card terminal at any kind of business and you will probably see a portion of people tip, regardless if it's a gas station, oil change, Home Depot, whatever. Something clicks in some people's brains when they see the tip screen on a card reader and suddenly their handing over money for no reason other than someone asked them to. It's stupid.
People need to learn to show some balls, sack up, and press the NO button instead of letting themselves get walked on. Prices go up across the board in all aspects of life and people still think they are obligated to tip just because a payment terminal says so? Yeah, no wonder these businesses have their hands in out pocket at every turn. People are dumb enough to do it.
