Cultural Notes
In America, waitress are normally paid a very small wage by the restaurant they work at, but get most of their earnings from customers to tip about 15% or more of the cost the food and drinks.
More generous customers will pay for the meal with a large bill(such as a $20 bill for a meal costing $15), and tell the waitress to”Keep the change.”
It is unusual for a customer to pay for a meal with a $100 bill and then let the waitress keep the change.
