The verb" tip" means to give money, and the noun tip is the money that you give to someone. Around the world, many people give tips to waiters, drivers. . . It's a way of saying thank you. But did you know that tipping traditions around the world are different?

In some countries, like the United States, it's common to give a tip in a lot of different places. Almost everybody gives tips in restaurants and cafes or when they take a taxi. In Japan, though, it's a very different story. In Japan, tipping isn't part of the culture, so it doesn't always happen. And in France, a "service charge" is included(包含)on all restaurant checks (账单), so in fact, you've already tipped your waiter.

The tips in the United States are usually between15 %and 20 %on restaurant checks. So, for example, if a restaurant total is $ 40, people give the server around $6～$ 8. That is a lot of money for some visitors who come from countries where tipping isn't usual.

Maybe a man named Benjamin Olewine wins the prize for giving the world's most generous tip. Mr. Olewine paid for his waiter's school fees (费用) as a tip! The waiter, Jackson, was working in a restaurant to save money for school. One day, he served breakfast to Mr. Olewine. The check was$3. 45. The tip was more than $ 20, 000!
