If you've gone out to dinner recently, you've probably had an experience similar to anyone else who has also gone out to dinner, even if you've gone to totally different restaurants. When you arrive at the establishment, a host takes you to a table (or lets you know there's a bit of a wait) and gives you some menus. Eventually, a server will come by and take your food and drink orders and shortly thereafter, that same server typically comes back with your meal. After you eat, perhaps you order dessert, but either way, the check is coming next. In many nations -- the United States for sure, but the U.S. isn't alone here -- you're expected to not only pay the amount listed on your bill, but also add 15% or more as a tip for your server and the rest of the waitstaff.

And maybe, when that check arrives, it will come with something else: some candy, like the one seen below.
