Understanding Tips
A tip, also known as a gratuity, is an extra sum of money given to service workers for the services they provide. The practice of tipping varies significantly across the world and can depend on the type of service. In some countries, tipping is expected and forms a significant part of workers' income, while in others, it is not customary and can even be considered rude.
