A. Research the Internet. Find and print a chart (like the one on the right) pertaining to how much to properly "tip" service workers. During this trip, you will be expected to know about gratuities; how to "tip"; and how much. The best chart for tipping can be found at www.tipping.org. File the chart in your manila folder. (If you are going on to Letter "B" next, then don't close tipping.org.)
