Tipping Etiquette
The word TIP=To Insure Promptitude. There is no right or wrong when it comes to tipping, just common sense. A tip is a sum of money contributed for a service performed or anticipated. Tips are not required, but they are expected by many people in the service industry.

Here are a few guidelines:

• Tip 20% for excellent service, 15% for good/adequate service.
• Carry a lot of dollar bills so that you don’t have to ask for change. 
• Do not tip if a gratuity was already included in your bill.
• Say thank-you.
