Tina: Vond je het Nederlandse eten lekker?

Tina: Nee hoor, in Nederland kan dat.

Bill: En hoe doen jullie dat met fooi, en service, etc.

Tina: Service is inclusief, maar fooi wordt wel van je verwacht.

Bill: Hoeveel ongeveer?

Tina: Ongeveer 15 procent.

----Formal English----

Tina: Did you enjoy the Dutch food?

Bill: Oh yes, delicious. What about paying? How do you go about it?

Tina: Usually we all pay together. We share.

Bill: Won't people think it's strange if I let a woman pay as well?

Tina: No, in Holland that's perfectly accepted.

Bill: And what about tips and service charges, and so on?

Tina: Service is included, but you're expected to tip.
