A ‘tip’ is like a little extra thank you. Imagine you have a friend who helps you clean up your toys. After you finish, you might give them a special sticker as a way to say ‘thank you’ for their help. That sticker is like a tip. It’s not something you have to do, but it shows you appreciate their help.
Think of a tip like a cherry on top of an ice cream sundae. The sundae is already yummy, but the cherry makes it even better. When someone, like a waiter or a delivery person, does a good job, giving them a tip is like adding that cherry. It makes them feel noticed and happy.
A tip can also be like a high-five. When someone does something nice for you, like bringing your food or helping you find your favorite toy, a tip is a way to give them a high-five with money. It’s a small way to show that you liked what they did and want to say ‘good job!’ and ‘thank you!’
