All right.
We are going to give a Key Word Story.
We're using all our key words in one story.
So here it is.
Mickey and Minnie went to a restaurant.
The service was very good.
It wasn't poor.
They talked about how much tip to give the server.
Minnie tipped the server at the table.
Mickey gave a tip in the jar on the counter.
So their server got two tips.
It was a good day for Mickey and Minnie.
They gave big tips.
Yeah, and it was also a good day for their server.
Mmhm.
Well, let's review today's conversations and our Read It.
(Music).
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Let's Talk.
So what do you know about tipping?
Do you know who to tip and how much you should tip?
Well, our guest today is here to tell us more about tipping.
Please help me welcome Ms. Manners.
Welcome to the show, Ms. Manners.
Thank you, Rob.
Tell us about tipping.
Not everyone agrees on who to tip.
That's true.
So who do you tip?
You tip people for their services.
So you tip your server at a restaurant?
Yes. Tip 15 percent for good service and 20 percent for great service.
Should you always tip?
Yes. But if the service is poor, leave a very small one.
Should you tip anyone else?
Tip a taxi driver 15 percent of the fare.
Do you give a hairstylist a tip?
Oh, yes. Tip 20 percent of the bill.
What about coffee shops?
Sometimes you see a tip jar on the counter.
You do not have to put money in the jar.
But you can if you want to.
Where can people find out more about tipping?
They can check online.
In America, you should tip people for their services.
At a restaurant, tip 15 percent for good service and 20 percent for great
service.
If the service is poor, leave a small tip.
That will let the server know you were not happy with the service.
In some coffee shops and cafes, you see a tip jar on the counter.
If you want to, put some money in the jar, but you don't have to.
Remember to tip taxi drivers and hairstylists.
They appreciate it!
Well, hello, Ginger.
Tips! Tips! Tips, please!
Ginger, what are you doing?
What's this on the counter?
It's my tip jar.
Please, give me a tip.
Ginger, I'm not giving you a tip.
Why not?
Because you only tip people for their services.
Services?
Yeah. Did you serve me at a restaurant?
No.
Are you my taxi driver?
No.
Are you my hairstylist?
No.
So do you still think I should give you a tip?
Hmm, Yes. Please?
Hello.
