tomers of the coffee houses were expected to drop coins into
13. box on which was written “to insure promptness.” “T.I.P.”,
14. initials of that phrase are said to be 15. origin of the modern word
“tipping.”
The question, of course, is whom do we tip and how much is consid-
ered 16. fair amount. Usually 17. waiters and 18. taxi cab drivers ex-
pect to get a tip. In 19. hotel, the bellhop and chamber-maid also ex-
pect some gratuity. The amount, of course, depends upon the nature of
the service requested and the quality level of the hotel. Hairdressers
and barbers can also merit a small tip. Even sky-cap porters at 20. air-
ports who may carry your suitcase to 21. checkout counter expect
22. dollar tip per 23. bag.
Although the amount may vary according to the kind of service and the
quality of the restaurant and hotel, generally, 24. ten percent tip is con-
sidered adequate. In New York and larger metropolitan cities they may
expect as much as fifteen or twenty percent.
In 25. restaurants, the tip is left on the table and the bill is paid sepa-
rately. The tip should never be given directly to 26. waiter but it can be
added onto a check if one is paying by 27. credit card. In tipping
28. cab driver, the tip can simply be added to the total amount of the
fare.
Tipping, of course, is not mandatory in any situation, and one should
not feel under any obligation to give one. If a waiter is not prompt and
attentive and noticeably lacking in 29. courtesy and manners, it would
be perfectly acceptable not to leave 30. tip. It would also not be out of
31. order to register 32. complaint with the management. Likewise, if
a cab driver does not take a passenger to his destination by 33. shortest
route, he also deserves to forfeit his tip.
Ushers in theaters whose job it is to see you to your seat and service
help in 34. fast food restaurants do not expect 35. tip. At the end of
the year, however, it has become the custom to give a tip or small gift
to newspaper boys who deliver 36. paper to your home throughout
37. year. The same may be true for 38. garbage collectors or anyone
24
who may have provided 39. special service. 40. Most Americans dis-
like tipping and find it 41. nuisance. If 42. poll were taken, the consen-
sus would favor just adding the tip to the total of the bill as is the cus-
tom in Japan and other Asian countries.

taurants and small cafeterias, 3. very popular job for 4. teenager in
America is baby sitting. This has its greatest appeal among 5. teenage
girls and 6. good baby sitter can earn quite a bit if she is reliable, re-
sponsible and mature.

may well spend the time doing homework but should not tie up the
phone with 20. personal calls just in case 21. parents want to be in
22. contact with her. Such 23. job often involves working on Friday
and Saturday nights when many married couples like to spend
