A Tip for Calculating the Tip
In every circle of friends, there seems to be one person in charge of calculating the tip, the go-to person for ensuring fairness and generosity at the end of a meal. However, when that indispensable friend is absent, a simple trick can save the day. Shifting the decimal point of the bill one step to the left, or moving it two places if you’d like to tip 20%, is a handy mental shortcut for calculating the tip.
This easy technique simplifies the process, ensuring that tipping remains effortless and equitable even in the absence of the designated “tip guru.” So, the next time you’re out with friends and the bill arrives, there’s no need to take out your phone calculator – just slide that decimal point, and you’ll be on your way to leaving a gratuity that’s both fair and convenient.
