Transcript: A Tip on Tipping

Here's a tip on tipping for all those big tippers. The rule of thumb is that a tip should at least be 15% of the total bill. But that's kind of tough to figure out in your head. However 10% is even easier. Look I'll show you. Can I borrow this for a second? Thank you. Don't get excited, I'm not going to pick up the tab. In order to figure out 10% of your bill, simply take the decimal point and move it over one place to the left. See, this bill is for $15.45, so I take the decimal point and move it over one place to the left and I now know that 10% of $15.45 is $1.54. And if I want to figure out 15%, I just take half of $1.54, about $0.75, and add the two together. That's my tip, about $2.30, and don't be worried if you have to figure it out on a napkin, the waiter or waitress will appreciate that you took the time to treat them right.
