Service charge
In Brazil, the service charge, known as gorjeta [tip], is added to the bill and it amounts
10% out of the total of the service. It is optional to pay for it or not and the customer can
choose not to pay for it in case of being unhappy with the service provided. Paying extra tips
is not usual.
