When you travel to a new country, one of the most confusing things can be tipping. Tipping is the practice of giving a small amount of extra money to a person who provides a service. This could be a waiter in a restaurant, a taxi driver, or a hotel worker. Tipping traditions are very different around the world, and it is important to know the local rules so you don't feel embarrassed.

In the United States, tipping is a very important part of the culture. In restaurants, it is common to leave a tip of 15% to 20% of the total bill. This is because many workers in the service industry receive a very low salary. They depend on tips to make enough money to live. If the service is excellent, some people leave even more. Even in coffee shops, there is often a "tip jar" on the counter for small amounts of change.
