Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Khalil: In a cafe or restaurant, it's usual to leave a tip for the waiter. There is no 10 percent rule, and you don’t have to tip at all either. But if you like the place, it's a good idea to tip well so that you get even better service in the future.
