Why don't foreigners say "how much" when checking out?

I believe many friends have traveled abroad or traveled on business, so common English has become something we must master. You don't need to be too proficient, but at least you should know your daily spoken English and let foreigners know your needs.

Among them, the most common should be spoken English, ordering food, checking out, etc. So many friends may be glad that they have learned some daily spoken English from some English books, thinking that they can come in handy, but the result makes them blush. Today, we will talk about some problems we will encounter when checking out.

After dinner, maybe our first reaction is to ask "how much". Maybe no one will talk to you after you ask, and even someone will look at you differently. You may feel at a loss, but it is really caused by improper words.

In foreign countries, eating in restaurants generally does not require "how much". Because foreigners think this is their privacy, it will be impolite for you to ask, so they usually put the bill in the menu and hand it to you. If you need to check out, you can use a few spoken words.

1. Directly saying "Please pay the bill" is spoken language, which won't make foreigners feel impolite.

2. "May I have the bill, please?" More tactful, but also more polite.

"Please bring the bill" is also a polite way.

The "how much" we have learned is generally applicable to the scene of buying food or food stalls in the vegetable market, and it is revitalized.

Do you remember?
