What about sales tax and/or tips

Today we learned how to calculate sales tax and tip. I gave you some opinions about tipping.  But now it's time to talk with your REAL experts, your parent/grandparents. Ask them for a statement or a little story about sales tax OR tipping. Maybe you could share their tipping advice OR when they lived somewhere without sales tax. Maybe they waited tables and they have a statement to make about who were good or bad tippers.

Anything you want....................

  7. The usual amount my mom pays is 20%, unless the service is awful. However, she says my dad is quite a bit stingier. He doubles the tax and believes that's enough.
    Huh.
