Connor: 作为一名播客主，我经常听到来美国旅游的人抱怨食物不好吃，或者对支付方式、小费和税收感到困惑。因此，我想分享一些在美国餐厅用餐的实用建议和注意事项，帮助大家在美国获得更好的用餐体验。首先，不要随意走进一家餐厅，最好事先查看餐厅评价，因为美国人非常喜欢留下详细的评价。其次，尽量避免连锁餐厅，选择家庭经营的小餐馆，这些地方通常有最好的菜肴。此外，不要只吃汉堡等“美国食物”，要尝试美国多样化的国际美食，比如烧烤和南方食物。最后，美国的早餐也非常棒，值得一试。关于价格，在美国外出就餐很贵，税和小费通常不包含在价格里。小费文化非常极端，现在至少要给15%的小费，18%正在成为标准。为了避免高额的小费，可以选择在柜台付款的餐厅。在有服务员的餐厅，服务员会主动给你账单，你不需要主动要账单，把现金或卡留在账单上即可。另外，美国的餐厅水是免费的，苏打水和咖啡通常也可以免费续杯。希望这些建议能帮助大家更好地了解在美国餐厅用餐。
