Taxes + tips, a closer look
I went to Texas Roadhouse the other day, it was awesome! This gallery will tell you about my trip.
When I got there, I got Dr. Pepper to drink. I also had some dinner rolls. Then, finally, I had a 6 ounce sirloin steak! I got the steak fries with it. the drink costs $0.99, the steak $7.50, totaling $8.49. Without tax. Tax made it add 7 cents to the drink, equalling $1.06. Tax added 51 cents to the steak, equalling $8.01. Add those together, and you get the total cost of $9.07.
My waiter was amazing! The customer service was great! I gave him a 15% tip. 15% of $9.07 is $1.36. So, in total, my visit cost me $10.43
