READING:

Fans at the World Cup are having problems with tipping. Many fans are from countries where there is no tipping. The USA has tips of up to 20 per cent. If people do not leave a tip, staff can be disappointed. Fans already spent a lot of money getting to the World Cup. Leaving tips makes their trip more expensive.

Restaurant staff are also struggling. Workers' wages can be as low as $2.13 per hour. Many staff say they need tips to survive. In many cities, restaurants owners are adding tips to their bills. The owners say many visitors do not know the tipping culture in the USA. In some restaurants, staff are explaining it to diners.
