Woman: I can never figure out the tip Man: Don't worry about it. I left 20% of our bread sticks

Here’s what I do:
Having worked in a restaurant when I was a high school kid, I know what the tip means to the staff – so I leave 20%.
It’s easy to figure out. Try this (here’s a receipt)
00.50 – coffee00.75 – coke08.75 – sandwich01.00 – french fries-———————————-
11.00 – dining total
01.10 – tax (this is California for you…)
12.10 – TOTAL
…
Now, go back to the DINING TOTAL (again, you don’t tip the tax). which is $11.00
Ten percent tip would be ten percent of $11.00. To get 10% all you have to do is move the decimal point one place to the left – so $11.00 becomes $1.10 or a dollar ten. A 20% tip would be TWO 10 percent tips or $1.10 plus $1.10 – or $2.20.

Clankey bits of change is still money to someone who works hard – but I’ll round it up a bit of the staff made the meal more enjoyable.
