Part Seven: Additional Know-how Tips for Paying the Bill 结账小窍门
第27页:餐厅结账的基本做法
- It seems rather simple and easy to pay your bill in arestaurant. You can just call the waiter and tell him that youwould like to pay the bill. When he gives you the bill, youwill check it carefully to see whether there are any mistakes ornot and make the payment if everything is all right. And thenyou should put some tip on the table before leaving. Thewhole process can be finished in several minutes if there is noproblem. However, things do not always go so smoothly.Owing to these or those problems, paying the bill can be fullof troubles unless you pay attention to the following tips:
- Ask for your check immediately when you finish yourmeal because the waiter may not notice that you are through.After all, he has to take care of several tables at the same time.Besides, he doesn’t want to continuously bother you to seewhether you have finished or not. But making you wait forhim is also something he is unwilling to do.
第28页:现金与信用卡的递交方式
- When you pay in cash or by credit card, you’d better putthem a little out of the check presenter, and then place it onthe edge of the table so as to hint the waiter that you are readyto pay the bill.
- Even though you are intended to sit there chatting withyour friend for a while when you are finished, you’d bettertell the waiter and pay first. For one thing, he has to wait forall of his receipts being calculated before leaving. If you arethe last table he serves and you delay paying the bill, he hasto wait. For another, if he wants to leave, he can go aftermaking sure whether you need anything else and arrangingfor another waiter to look after you.
- In addition, it’s thoughtful of you to give a little more tip tothe waiter if you occupy the table for a long time because heearns money only by turning the limited number of tables heserves.
第29页:多人聚餐的分摊方式
- When you dine with several friends, you need to let the waiterknow in advance whether you are going to split the bill accordingto what each person orders or you are going to pick up the tab forthe whole table. This may help to speed up the payment processand avoid the embarrassing situation in which everyone fightsover who will pay the bill.
- You can usually pay the bill in three ways: cash, check andcredit card. If you pay in cash, you’d better use the smallest billsyou have and let the waiter know whether you need the change ornot. However, when you give tip to the waiter, you should notuse many small changes. If you pay with your check, first youneed to ask whether check is accepted or not. If it is accepted,you should leave your home phone number and address or anyother useful information for the convenience of both sides. If youpay by credit card, it’s better to give tip in cash because somerestaurants will take a certain proportion of the tips paid by creditcard.
