[quote=Anonymous]This reminds me how I learned to tip at a young age. I was 12 years old and I was invited to a birthday party in the neighborhood. I was the new kid and happy to be there. It was Ruby Tuesday restaurant, 5 kids plus the birthday girl, two parents and grandparents. I was sitting next to the birthday girl, when the waitress brought the check to the table, the dad gave my friend permission to add up tip and sign the check. I watched her the whole time because I was curious how much the check was, my friend put down $30 as a tip and sign the check. I was just surprised why so much, because my parents and I always tip $1 for each person. My friend basically tip $20 over, I asked her why she tip so much, she said because it's 18% of the check, and that's how I learned to tip appropriately. Imagine if I didn't know better, I would have tipped a dollar my whole freaking life and people surprise to learn why some people don't tip at all or tip incorrectly. Tipping is also culturally bias, I'm Asian and I realize people in my community tip the same way as my parents, my husband is African-American, his parents also tip small amount and your husband is the opposite.[/quote]
