6:47 pm
revenue share and 1% i put toward our health insurance. >> guests are enthusiastic about the change and say it seems like they are spending the same as before. it is just simpler. goldberg, on the other hand, is sticking with his surcharge. >> we want to continue to be able to provide a place that they like to come. and without it, it's going to effect our ability to stay afloat. >> the etiquette expert said the most common gratuity is about 18% and also said the word "tip" is an acronym, but it is. and i posted a short video about it on our website and check it out at abc7news.com. just click on the 7 on your side. >> i did not know that. i'll have to go find that. >> thanks, michael. all right. well cheers, it is national wine day. california makes 90% of all american wine and last year

6:53 pm
a dramatic change that happens, mike brown will remain the acting head coach with guidance from kerr. >> it makes it very difficult to have to sit here and say that the man that is hugely responsible for us being in the finals for three years in a row, in a moment that he should be treasuring, can't do it. it is painful and i know it is painful for him more than anybody. and i wish and he wishes and i'm sure you guys do too, there was something that could get him there. but right now, we're not at that point. >> the warriors held the first nba finals practice today. they got a couple of days off after sweeping the spurs. speed or the intensity of a real game so the goal at this point is just stay as fresh as possible. >> we can't control what happens but we wish we could play good or -- tomorrow or whatever. we have no control over it so we have to take it how it is and go out there and do we what we need to do every day. >> and the guys need to stay
6:54 pm
mentally sharp and that is on each one of the guys as an individual. so just kind of taking it one day at a time. >> you could catch all of the nba finals games, exclusively here on abc 7, games one and two at oracle starting next thursday, games three and four on the road and we booked our flights to cleveland and we'll be able to confirm the tickets in about half an hour. maybe an hour. game five is in boston. kyrie irving feeding lebron james right down the lane. kyrie has the best handle oft game. i'm sorry, stef. i'm sorry. the video does not lie. that is ridiculous. he has gone to the basket this entire series for lebron james and the cavs. prayer may be boston's only hope. they scored 43 in the first quarter and up by 20 and they lead 75-57 at the half. the giants finale a little bit like the clint eastwood movie, the good and bad and ugly
