Tip your waiter.

Depending on which country you reside in, tipping could be part of a twelve per cent service charge, or it might be separate from the bill altogether.

Take America for example; they don’t tend to tack a service charge onto the end of your bill. The expected tip, therefore, is between 15 and 20 per cent of your total bill. Not considering this and bailing is pretty rude.

Imgur user and waiter Seminole was left frustrated after a group of teenagers left him a meagre $3.28 (around £2.35).

Not a massive amount.

He wrote on an imgur post:

Nothing more frustrating than when I get little to nothing for a tip and the customer is smiling and thanking me profusely as they exit.

However, a week and a half after the tip faux pas, the young diners wrote a letter apologising.

And they left a great tip.

Here’s the letter in its entirety:

He concluded on Imgur:

These kids came back another day and left this for me at the front desk, with $18 and some change. I've been serving a long time, and nothing like this has ever happened to me, or anyone. I don't know how you learned or educated yourself on tipping, but I really appreciate the effort and kindness. I hope your Homecoming was fantastic!
