Man:
We have to tip here, right?
Woman:
I don't think we have to, but it's expected at every dine-in restaurant in the USA. I heard it's extremely rude not to.
Man:
Even if you received horrible food and service?
Woman:
Maybe not then, but waiters and waitresses depend on tips for their salary. They earn a very low wage.
Man:
Okay. So how much do we have to tip, then?
Woman:
... I'm not sure. Maybe we could ask the waitress for some help?
************
Excuse me, could you help us for a second? We're not from around here, and we don't really understand how tipping works. How much are we supposed to tip?
Waitress:
Sure! 15-20% of the total bill is customary, but the amount is really up to you.
Man:
Okay, it looks like our bill comes to $65.72. Let me do some math real quick... so you're saying the customary amount is between $9.86 and $13.14?
Waitress:
I'm not great with math, but if that's between 15 and 20 percent then yes, that sounds right.
Man:
Okay. Thank you for your help.
******************
Woman:
So, what should we tip her then?
Man:
I feel like she did a good job; she was helpful and friendly. Maybe we should make it an even $13?
Woman:
That sounds good to me. Can we just add it to the total, or does it have to be in cash?
Man:
It looks like there's a spot for it on the bill, but maybe we should double-check with the waitress real quick.
Woman:
Yeah, good idea.
Man:
Excuse me, miss, but are we able to just add the tip to the total bill?
Waitress:
Yes, since you already paid by credit card, you can just write the amount you want to tip in this spot right here, where it says, "tip." Then you'll add the tip with the total bill and sign here at the bottom, and that is the total amount your card will be charged.
Man:
Okay, great, and we can keep this second copy for our records, right?
Waitress:
Yes, that's right.
Man:
Fabulous. Thank you so much for your help and for the meal, it was great.
Waitress:
So glad you enjoyed it; enjoy your time here in the U.S.!
