Inside the restaurant.

"What's wrong?"

Monica asked.

Rachel had guessed the reason and reached out to cover her eyes with shame.

"It seems that our great surgeons are not very good at math."

Ross shook his head and said proudly: "He only gave 4% of his tip."

“so?”

Adam did not think about it.

"So, he's too stingy."

Ross contemptuously said: "Only 15% is given, but so many of us naturally have to give 20%, at least not less than 10%. What is 4%?"

“Is tip necessary?”

Adam retorted: “Is it mandatory?”

"certainly!"

Ross shouted: "This is a thank you to the waiter for us. Rachel, you are the waiter, tell me?"

"uh-huh."

Rachel coughed and whispered, "This is my dad."

"Is this your dad?"

Ross shouted: "Don't you bother with his behavior?"

"alright."

Seeing Rose relentlessly, Rachel said anxiously: "If he went to our cafe to have coffee, someone would definitely sneeze into his coffee, but I have told him countless times that he could not change it."

"Why do you need to change?"

Adam interrupted, "You are the ones who want to change!"

"What?!"

Rachel and Ross shouted in unison.

"Tip is just a custom, and it is a bad habit that has been formed over the years. It is not compulsory. Otherwise, if you don't give it, you'll have a tycoon meal."

Adam explained: "This is from Europe. At first, it was just a behavior of thanking for quality service and showing off wealth. Now it has evolved into having to give, and there is also a special proportion. It is despised if it is given less and is even despised. Even the waiter will pollute food. What is this a bad habit?"

"How can this be considered a bad habit?"

Ross argued: "This is equivalent to not handing over a portion of the meal to the restaurant, but to the waiter directly, as long as you give it appropriately..."

“What is appropriate?”

Adam interrupted: "Is there a 10%, 15%, 20% meal fee? Can you ensure that each waiter's psychological expectations are the same? You gave 15%, and he thinks he should get 20%. Even if you gave the highest 20%, he thinks he is handsome and has a very good service. Will he ask for a higher proportion?

Don’t say it’s impossible, the 10%, 15%, and 20% higher and higher ratios say everything, and once they are dissatisfied, your food is at risk of being contaminated!

People spend money to eat, so they enjoy it. Do they have to guess the psychological expectations of every waiter in every restaurant and then worry about whether their food has been sneezed?

Rather than this, why not just cut off this bad habit and calculate the proportion of the meal that should be given to the waiter into the meal fee and pay it to the restaurant?

The waiter has no direct interests with customers and excessive psychological expectations, so the cleanliness of the food is definitely greatly improved.

And serving customers, isn’t this the job of a waiter?

Hiring waiters to serve customers is the restaurant’s job, otherwise would you have to do a good job of food and clothing? It’s not buffets or takeaways!

Furthermore, every time you give a tip, the customer has to calculate it by himself. Isn’t it troublesome?

Shouldn’t merchants serve customers to the greatest extent?

These are the common rules in the world, you are destroying the rules!"

"What you said is wrong, what you said is wrong..."

Ross was speechless and could only deny it like a repeater in his mouth, unwilling to accept Adam's "fallacies and evil theory".

"Adam, tips are now a customary one, as long as they are within a certain range, they are OK."

Monica explained: "What you said is too extreme."

"yes!"

Ross's eyes lit up: "You are too extreme, how can there be so many people who are insatiable? At least I have never seen them since I was a child."

"Yeah?"

Adam smiled playfully and said, "You have never seen it? Why did I hear that every time someone stays in a hotel, he not only packs all the hotel's bathing items, but also keeps asking waiters to ask for rolls of toilet paper, and even removes the bulb of the bedside lamp and takes it away..."

"Monica!!!"

Ross couldn't stand it anymore and shouted with a blushing face.

That's right, someone is talking about him!

Originally, he would have said that this was his right, but no matter how unhappy the hotel and the waiter were, they could only keep it in their hearts, and they were as clever as he never lived in the same hotel.

But he had just criticized Leonard for being stingy and giving too little tips, and tips were indeed not compulsory. Even if the waiter was unhappy, he could only wait for revenge next time.

Is there any difference between the two?

Obviously there isn't.

Therefore, he was embarrassed.

"I haven't told Adam, I swear!"

Monica quickly raised her hand and refused to be the scapegoat.

"Okay, I'm just a metaphor."

Adam smiled and said, "Leonard is a cardiothoracic surgeon at New York University Medical Center. His annual income is worth your ten years. Is he short of that little tip? Today he treats him and spends 500 dollars. Is this a stingy?

Of course not! Just like you are definitely not short of those rolls of toilet paper and desk lamp bulbs!

As long as it is within the scope of the rules, no matter how you choose, it is personal freedom. Don’t use this as others, or even elevate it to the level of morality and character, that would be boring.”

"What are you talking about?"

At this time, Leonard came back and asked curiously.

"Nothing, nothing!"

Ross quickly covered up and looked at Adam with a gaze.

"nothing."

Adam smiled and perfunctorily passed by.

His words were half true and half false.

In his eyes, the tips in the United States are like the money from the previous life, and are being hyped up by a few people, even reaching a point beyond the reach of most people.

It's not a joke that no one wants to take the red bomb but has to bite the bullet.

If you don’t give enough, you will be despised and lose face. Here you are at risk of being sneezed and spitting by the waiter. Even some relatives and friends who are "full of justice" will despise their moral character, which is a good bad habit!

This is the truth.

But is Leonard still fighting this bad habit because he insists on principles and is still stingy... Well, Adam is not sure, he is just flattering.

As for why not tell what happened just now?

I have already taken enough photos tonight tomorrow, so I'd better change it. Then I'll say it unconsciously from Rachel's mouth. That's obviously sincere and the effect will be better.

Alas, in order to extend his life as soon as possible and avoid dying young, he is really hardworking.

According to Leonard's statement of fooling Sheldon, comfort yourself. This is the inevitable interpersonal convention. You must follow it even if you don't like it.

But it is much better to flatter and say something nice to say, flattery is better than "the chrysanthemums are broken, the ground is covered with wounds, your smile is yellow, and the flowers fall and people are heartbroken"...

"Let's go."

Leonard ended the dinner in a good mood.

As the attending doctor in a large hospital and department, he is flattered by interns every year in a different way. He is said to be so accustomed to ignoring it for granted.

Keren and people are different.
