Do you want some dessert?
No thanks. We just need our check. Have you seen the waitress?
Where is our waitress anyway?
Yes, the service hasn't been the best. Is that our waitress over there?
I'll walk over and get the bill, since I don't think the waitress is coming over here any time soon.
Good idea. Just bring it back and we'll figure it out together.
So the bill is $ 36. 00.
How much do you think we should leave for a tip?
My first inclination is to leave nothing for a tip.
I agree, but we don't really know the whole story. There may have been problems in the kitchen beyond her control.
Let's leave 10 %, so that we at least leave something for the service.
I agree. We will leave $ 3. 60 for the tip.
