PERFORMING A SERVICE. IT SEEMS
LATELY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO
OR WHERE YOU GO, YOU ARE ASKED
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE A
TIP. SO WHERE DO TIPPING
EXPERTS SAY TO LEAVE SOME
APPRECIATION FOR A JOB? WELL

SOMETIMES USE PAYMENT APPS
LIKE VENMO ZELLE CASHAPP APPLE
PAY OR PAYPAL. BUT BE AWARE
BEFORE YOU TIP CHECK THE BILL
NUMBER OF BUSINESSES AND
RESTAURANTS ARE INCORPORATING
A SERVICE CHARGE INTO THE
CHECK. THAT’S ESSENTIALLY.
FREE. AGREED UPON TIP. BUT
DOES THAT DOES THAT SERVICE
CHARGE?
>> GOLD SERVER QUESTION. WELL,
YEAH, WELL, AND I THINK THAT
THERE’S WORTHY OF ASKING A
QUESTION ABOUT WHO GETS THAT
MONEY WITH THAT. I ALWAYS
APPRECIATED IF MIGHT SERVER
TELLS ME, HEY, BY THE WAY,
BECAUSE YOU’RE A PARTY OF 6 OR
MORE. WE’VE INCLUDED THE YOU
KNOW, I REALLY FEEL LIKE THAT
UPFRONT INFORMATION. IS LIKE
IF YOU GET A PIZZA DELIVERED,

GET MY OWN FOOD AND DRINK NO

WRITES, WE TIP 50% FOR GOOD
SERVICE AND IGNORE ALL THE
SUGGESTED TIPS AS PRICES FOR
THINGS HAVE RISEN SO
PROPORTIONATELY HAVE.
>> TIP AMOUNTS. YES. SO FOR
ME, WHAT I THINK IS IS ALWAYS
BEST ASKED THE QUESTION. BUT,
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU’RE GOING TO
GET TAKE OUT HIS TIME TO PAY
AT THE REGISTER, SOMETIMES IT
ASKING FOR TIPS. SO WHEN THAT
SITUATION, I’VE BEEN TOLD THAT
YOU DO NOT LEAVE A TIP FOR
THAT, BUT I USUALLY TIP
EVERYWHERE I GO JUST TO BE ON
THE SAFE SIDE. SO THINK THAT’S

A TEENAGER WHO’S NOW WORKING
AS A CASHIER AT A RESTAURANT.
>> WHAT JUST A THICK YEAR
BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE
WHO ARE ALSO BEHIND THE SCENES
ARE HELPING. AND PULL THAT
TOGETHER.
