Here’s a tip for you.
An neglected feature of the Apple Watch helps people calculate suggestions and the breakdown of a split check when dining, the Independent reports.
When users open the calculator app on their Apple Watch, they will type within the bill balance before a tip percentage is accounted.
Users must tap on the TIP button to add the service charge, which by default is ready at 20%, but a percentage between 1 and 100 will be substituted by scrolling on the watch’s digital crown.
For instance, the watch computer screen will reflect a $600 bill with a 20% tip of $120.
If it’s not a solo dining experience, the watch allows you to split the bill by the number of individuals in your party.
Select the PEOPLE button to split the bill up to 50 ways, which might calculate everyone’s share, including a 20% tip.
“You see the tip amount, the whole amount, and how much everyone owes if the bill is split evenly,” the Apple’s support site reads.
The calculator feature, which shouldn’t be available in all regions, makes tipping easier — but it doesn’t guarantee the user will tip the suggested amount.
As The Post previously reported, a survey on US tipping culture conducted by the Pew Research Center found that hardly half of US adults all the time tip their bartender for a drink and most leave lower than the usual 18% to 20% gratuity following a sit-down meal.
Most Americans are frustrated over “tipflation” and feel they’re being asked to tip at more places than simply five years ago, the survey adds.
And a recent survey by Bankrate shared that two-thirds of Americans hold a negative view of tipping, and one in three Americans think tipping culture is uncontrolled.
