How does tipping work in the USA?
|
Tipping is an important part of the service industry in the United States and there are a lot of tipping rules. People who work in the service sector are paid very low wages and it is assumed that most of their income is accumulated by tips. This is to encourage the staff to try to provide the best service to customers. For example: The average tip in restaurants is about 15-20% of the bill, tip the taxi driver about 15% of the fare and the valet parker $2-$5 depending on the distance to your car and if you are offered help with your luggage. Never "tip" police officers! ;)

Very basically, how is baseball played?
|
Baseball is a game between two teams of nine players each. The objective of the game is to score more points ("runs") than the other team. A run is scored by completing a tour of bases that are placed at the edges of a square called the "diamond", starting at home base and proceeding counter-clockwise without being put "out" by the other team. Opposing teams take turns being on offense and defense. Each cycle that is played this way (where each team has played on offense for three outs and on defense for three outs) is referred to as an inning. The game is normally concluded at the end of a designated number of innings, at which point the winner is the team with the most runs scored. In most baseball leagues, a winning team must be declared (no ties can exist).
