Paying for your food

Your waiter or waitress provided you with a service It is social norm to tip What is tipping? (Not cow tipping) How much do we tip?

During a dinning experience it is not acceptable to fumble in your wallet Have the money you expect to spend

ready before going out or bring a card

So when tipping you still do not want to fumble with your money or phone to determine the amount you want to tip

How to tip

I went to a lovely steak house and like my server. As a result , I plan to tip 20% of my bill If my bill was $50 dollars this is how I

would calculate the tip without a calculator:▪ Move the decimal point over 1 ($50~$5)▪ This is 10% -Multiple by 2 to get 20% or $10

for the tip▪ If I wanted to tip 15% half the 10% ($2.50)

and add to the 10% cost Any questions?
