So you've just enjoyed a
nice meal at your favorite steakhouse, and this time it is your turn to
pay the bill. You're staring at the check and you need to compute the
tip, but your math skills have eroded since you failed algebra all those
years ago. Everyone is looking at you, wondering what is taking you so
long to wrap things up. So you tell them to hold for a second, you're
looking at HTC America president Jason Mackenzie's Twitter page. But
that is only good for a few seconds. You tell yourself that things were
so much easier when 15% was the size of the average restaurant tip, but
18%, well that is just too hard to compute mentally.
Sure,
calling up the calculator on your phone would be the thing to do, but
that would be so lame in front of all of your tech buddies. And then it
hits you. You just read the story on PhoneArena about Google adding a
tip calculator to its mobile search app. All you have to do is tap the
mic or type in "what's the tip on $225? Of course, you need to specify
the percentage that you are tipping. And the tip calculator even will
compute how much each person in the party needs to cough up if your
splitting the tip.
We know that there are also plenty of tip
calculators in the Google Play Store, but when you have a movie to rush
to, or just feel your math skills being questioned by your friends or
family, it seems easier just to use Google search to do the heavy
lifting. The update is being sent out in waves so if it hasn't hit your
device yet, it should soon.
