Chapter 81: Tipping Culture

"This is also a bit too powerful, if the service is not good, give less or not give it? Isn't that treating people like cattle and horses, and the carrot strategy opens the way? Xu Jinmei has been simple all her life, and she can't accept this kind of thinking. [

Ji Xin nodded, "Yes, I wasn't used to it when I first arrived in the United States." I know how much to tip, but how much to give, and who to give it will be embarrassing. After inviting someone who understands, you can put your heart in your stomach. Under normal circumstances, it is not wrong to pay a tip of 15% of the consumption amount, and on this basis, it will fluctuate downward, and you will be given a little more if you are satisfied. ”

This man also talked about one of his own troubles, he just came here, and he habitually gave tips to the salesman when he went to the supermarket to shop, but he simply refused. Later, I learned that not all service workers in the United States are required to tip, such as police, civil servants, and government officials who do so legally or even illegally.

"Of course, if it's a tip for luxury jewelry, that's a different story. Benjamin Franklin, the founding father of the United States, once said that if you tip too much, you are like a fool; Tipping less, is a big fool. ”

After a meal, the family had a heated discussion around American culture, uh, the topic is too broad, it should be the difference between Chinese and American life, well, of course, it is mainly Ji Xin and Linda who explained, and everyone worked hard to digest.

Full of wine and food, Linda did not continue to arrange the original entertainment, because the little girl would lie in her mother's arms, little by little, sleepy. So everyone discussed going back to rest for 2 hours, and then play again in the afternoon.

At 3 p.m., Linda showed up at the door on time and the driver was ready outside. Ji Xin knocked on the door one by one to wake up the family. Ran Ran was reluctant to get up in bed, the family had no choice, and in the end he was promised by his uncle to take a pirate ship, and the little guy rubbed his eyes in confusion.

After some discussion, Linda first took everyone to the visitorcenter to buy 4-day Disney tickets (buy 4 days get 1 day free), although the visitorcenter has a discount, but a group of people add up to about 1500 US dollars, which is the most expensive ticket paid by Ji Xin in his life. However, there is no need to rush in this way, and there is no need to travel like a sightseeing tour.

Orlando Disney has four theme parks, and on the first day I chose to go to Hollywood Action, which simulates Hollywood movie car stunts, chases, explosions, and falling buildings, which is very thrilling. Of course, this is what adults are interested in, and Ran Ran is obviously not interested, and even a little scared.

There are also many theme parks in China, and after coming here, I found that it was not at the same level as here. This is a world, a kingdom built in a city, the world's largest Disneyland, a complete child's world, a place where children's dreams come true.

The feeling given to Ji Xin here is lively, although there is no Happy Valley, the World Expo queue for 8 or 9 hours is spectacular, but it is still very common to have a casual one or two hours. Even many times, they also see domestic tour groups, tour guides with little yellow hats shuttling through various scenic spots, and there is a natural sense of closeness between villagers who speak various local dialects.

The current stop is the pirate ship experience, which is actually the prototype in the cartoon and moved over, which is more suitable for the elderly and children, and is not too exciting. Young people are not very interested in these, so Ji Chenglin and Xu Jinmei decided to take their granddaughter to try it out, although they didn't think it was rare. The rest of the people stayed down and chatted, and even his brother-in-law Li Cheng, who was usually a little introverted, made a friend, and it seemed that he had changed his contact information.

After a round, Ji Yu pulled Ran Ran down, and I have to say that the environment has a great impact on people. The expressions of the two old men alone were very happy, and Ji Xin followed up to make fun, "Dad, Mom, it's good here, right?" ”

"Stinky boy, calculate your parents" Xu Jinmei raised her hand and pretended to hit Ji Xin, and sighed a little, "It's really good here, no wonder Disney is so famous all over the world, not only is it not scary, but it's also quite interesting." ”

Ji Chenglin also rarely admired, "Well, just now Ran Ran was still lying on it and didn't want to come down?" ”

"Oh?" Ji Xin looked at Ran Ran, this little girl is still angry, her little mouth is pouting, if it weren't for the beautiful clothes she bought, she could also use the trick of lying on the ground and rolling on the ground. "Otherwise, we're playing a round, and adults are nothing anyway. It's just that the ticket is a bit of a hassle."

There is a sign on each door of the Disney attraction that tells visitors exactly how long it takes to stand-by, and there is a distribution office called fastpass at the door, which allows you to collect a ticket and then come back at that time, you can play directly without queuing, you can use the queue for more than 2 hours to play other items or queue up for other things, it is said that it is to avoid a project being too popular and waiting for the invention unnecessarily.

Ji Yu is also a little embarrassed, the family can't always have children when they come out, and it's not good for her character development. The old lady still has some experience in children's education, which will make a straight face, "Li Ranran, you are not allowed to lie in the skin, otherwise your mother will not take you out to play in the future......"

There is still some truth in the long story, of course, in Ji Xin's understanding, it is the threat that plays a role. But the result was still good, and in the next trip, Ran Ran instantly turned into an obedient little girl, and even the souvenirs were picked by her grandparents, which made Ji Xin impressed.

In the evening, the family casually ate a buffet nearby, the price was half cheaper than at noon, but the taste was not bad, Ji Xin felt cheated, and it was estimated that half of the cost of eating there belonged to the brand premium. The family members who are used to saving are also opposed to going to Marriott for luxury, and they can't spend money indiscriminately!

…………

"Dad, let's go play something different tomorrow? I've heard that Orlando's gun shop club is also quite famous! After playing in the park for three days in a row, Ji Xin couldn't stand it, so he came up with such a proposal. I thought it would definitely be unanimously approved, but I didn't expect a dismal response.

Ji Xin was a little puzzled, so he stared at his brother-in-law, when did any man not like hot weapons? Sure enough, this attention found the clue, Li Cheng was a little eager to try, but his eyes were always staring at his wife, and his demeanor was simply a loyal little pacesetter. It's easy to find the reason, so he cooperated and stared at the old lady together, and didn't speak.

This can be regarded as annoying Ji Yu, and he stretched out his hand to pull his younger brother's ear, but fortunately, he remembered that this was outside, and there were other people, so he coughed, "I see that you are looking for trouble, isn't it very good to travel so peacefully?" Why do you want to play with guns, that thing is scared when you hear it"
