A tip (also known as a gratuity) is an amount of payment to certain service sector professionals which is in addition to the advertised bill or fee. These payments and their size are a matter of social custom.
There are no universal rules or obligations concerning whether to tip (tip is both a noun and a verb), who to tip or how much. Tipping varies from culture to culture and by service industry. In some situations tipping can be considered rude or demeaning. In other situations it can be considered very stingy not to give a tip. Giving a very small tip can be considered worse than giving nothing, and can be used as a deliberate snub.
Folk etymology claims that "tip" is an acronym for "to insure promptness." In fact, it comes from British Rogue's cant for "to give" and entered the popular vernacular in its modern sense as early as 1610.
