Appreciating
your pastor
By JOHN HATCHER
Religion Columnist
It’s considered
a crude offense not to leave a tip (gratuity) upon paying the server
in most restaurants. If you experienced below par service, you usually
tip five percent rather than the customary 10 to 15 percent of the dining
check. But, in almost all cases, you always leave something. The history
of the word “tip” has various explanations. But the one most
plausible to me is the following: the tip began as a verb in the 17th
century, used in the language of thieves, meaning “to give.”
By the early 18th century, the meaning included to give a gratuity to
a servant or employee.
