【简答题】

The tip earned its name a couple of centuries ago when coffee-houses emerged in London. Customers in a hurry deposited a small amount of money on arrival to insure promptness of service : thus TIP. The name of the person who fixed 15 percent as the standard tip has been lost to history. But the rate stuck. Lately however, there have been signs of change. Some restaurants are now including the service charge on the bill. Some customers feel that a tip should be earned. They generally respond to competent or even well-intended service with a 15 percent tip, but feel no pangs about reducing the percentage if the job is not done properly. Surely inattentive service deserves no reward at all. If a waiter’s performance is outstanding, a larger tip than normal may be in order. You usually bring the check to the cashier and pay yourself.
