Tipping tips for NYE

So after working in the service industry for a while, it is a blatant truth that most people don't know how to tip. It is NYE and this is the night that a lot of people in the service industry work really hard make enough money to not worry about their survival for a minute. Here is a super duper easy, anyone can do it, way to calculate a tip. First of all I refuse to believe that most of you can't do simple math, (ie: easy multiplication and understand what a decimal is) and if you say you don't you are most definitely lying or have no esteem in your skills as a human. So here we go easy easy easy:

Step one: What is your bill total? Lets say it is something easy= $10.00
Step two: Move the decimal place over 1 spot to the left= $1.00
Step three: Now you have the amount for a 10% tip woah!! Omg so hard.

Lets just do one more example to really take it home: Lets say your tab is $43.75 move the decimal place and 10% is $4.37

Now you can turn a 10% tip into a 20% tip very easily:
Do the first 3 steps then multiply your answer by 2.
Example: Tab $10.00
10% tip =$1.00
20% tip =$2.00

Lets just do it for a tab that's a little harder
Tab $34.98
10% tip = $3.49
20% tip = $6. 98

Here is a helpful hint for 20% I usually just round the change up just to make the math even easier. So I round up $3.49 to $3.50 then 20% is an even $7.00 (plus if you are giving them 20% they did a good job so rounding up is like a couple cents bonus)

I don't have an easy way for 15% because multiplying by 1.5 can be difficult so I just like to find an amount in the middle of the 10% and 20% and that usually works.

I hope this is helpful for people whether you go to a bar, restaurant or even get a haircut. Please tip the people that serve you. Most of them work very very hard and don't make much in return and please bring in the new year with generosity!

Happy 2014!
