“I have been married forever. Haven’t picked up the check in years.”

Me either. I would prefer not to know how much it costs - I can’t stand eating out, but my wife likes to. Now I just need to get her to figure out the tip on her own!

Easy cheat-cheat tip math:

10% of the total, then double it. Yeah, the 20% includes on the tax, but it’s nice to tip well. I worked in restaurants too once.

Figuring out a tip is easy.

Take 10% of the bill -- move the decimal point -- which shows how many cents -- one place to the *left*.

Now take half of that number.

Add the two together.
