Infrequently Evan will call me during the middle of the day at work. Usually his midday calls are to mom and he calls me after hours. If he fails in connecting with Rindy and has a question he calls. Friday at work the phone rings close to to the end of the day, and it is Evan. He has a question and needs some help. The situation: He is at Brick Oven
in Provo and has a math issue. How much do you tip when you have a bill of $10.44? A great question. Good in so many ways. He is off dining on his own; he knows how to read a bill; he knows he should tip; he wants to do it right.
The conversation goes as follows.
How much is the bill
$10.44; what tip
I think $1.50 would be an appropriate amount.
Thanks
