【食物】服务与小费-Good Tips for Good Service

A:Do you want some dessert?

B: No thanks. We just need our check. Have you seen the waitress?

A: Here comes our waitress with our check.

B:The service here has been really great, don't you think?

A:Yes, the service was quite good.

B:So, let's look at the check. The total is $36.00.

A:How much do you think we should leave for a tip?

B: Usually people leave 15 percent, but this was exceptional¹ service. I am thinking 

that maybe 20 percent would be appropriate².

A: I agree that 20 percent would be just about right.

B: OK, so that will bring her tip to $7.20. Add it to the $36.00 and the total 

is $43.20.

A:Yes, what a nice dinner that was！

B:We'll have to make sure to come back here again real soon.
