To tip, or not to tip?
The word tip comes from an old English slang. Americans
usually tip people in places like restaurants, airports, hotels, and
hair salons.
People who work in these places often get paid low wages.
A tip shows that the customer is pleased with service.
Sometimes it’s hard to know how much to tip. The size of the
tip usually depends on the service. People such as parking valets
or bellshops usually get (small) ______________________ tips.
The tip for people such as taxi drivers and waiters or waitresses is
usually (large) _____________.
When you’re not sure about how much to tip, do what feels
right. You don’t have to tip for bad services. And you can give a
(big) ____________________________ tip for a very good service.
Remember, though, your behavior is (important) _____________
than your money. Always treat service providers with respect.
