In some places, people give extra money called a "tip" to say thank you for good service. In England, Scotland, and Wales, a new rule makes sure workers get all their tips. This helps about three million workers. Sometimes, tips are shared with everyone who works there. It's nice to think about how good the service was before deciding how much to tip.

In the UK, some places add a "service charge" to the bill, and others let you decide. Many people suggest giving 10% to 15% as a tip. In the US, people often tip more, sometimes over 20%. Some people say thank you by writing nice things online instead of giving money. It's important to show thanks to people who work hard, whether with money or kind words.
