This is so you can prepare your tips.

If your building has staff you are supposed to prepare a cash tip for each person. Please do cash never a check.

I see this so often that I think it might qualify as a law: The time people take to notice demographic trends is equal to the time required for the results to materialise. In other words, however obvious the maths might be, we cannot or will not see it coming.
