EX6: Read the text and decide whether the following statement are (T) or (F)
Another odd custom associated with the United is its intricate tipping culture. Unlike
many other countries who don’t tip at all or who only tip in small amounts when the food was
particularly good, tipping is rather mandatory at most restaurants in the U.S. In fact, it is
expected that patrons leave between 10-20 percent of the bill in tips. Wait staff rely on this
gratuity for a living because legal wages for waiters are low. Further, there are rules for tipping
bartenders, delivery people and other service personnel. While some criticize this practice as
irrational, there’s no doubt that tipping culture in the U.S gives an incentive for waiters and
waitress to provide better service.
