餐厅英语对话-Good Tips for Good Service(1)

A: Do you want some dessert?
B: No thanks. We just need our check. Have you seen the waitress?
A: Oh, here comes our waitress with our check.
B: The service here has been really great, don't you think?
A: Yes, the service was quite good.
B: So, let's look at the check. The total is $36.00.
A: How much do you think we should leave for a tip?
B: Usually people leave 15%, but this was exceptional¹ service. I am thinking that maybe 20% would be appropriate².
A: I agree that 20% would be just about right.
B: OK, so that will bring her tip to $7.20. Add it to the $36.00 and the total is $43.20.
A: Yes, what a nice dinner that was!
B: We'll have to make sure to come back here again real soon.
