Have you ever been to Olive Garden? If you have, you know that the server will probably bring out some Andes candies at the end of your meal along with the bill for your meal. I can assure you that was a good move on the server's part.
It turns out that you tip much higher when these mints are brought out. A study showed that when a restaurant server brought out the check with one mint, people tipped 3.3% higher. But when the server brought out two mints, people tipped about 20% more.
What comes around goes around. Except in this case, there's more coming around to the server. If you ever decide to be a server at a restaurant remember this neat psychological trick. A couple mints out of your pocket might result in a whole lot of money in your pocket.
