Tips & Patience
Standard tip is 15%, especially in restaurants. No tip may imply that you’re not happy with the service received, if so consider saying it. Patience soothes the heart, sometimes things don’t go as smoothly as planned particularly when we’re pressed, but this is when patience is required, and is exactly why it is sometimes called a virtue.
