Tipping
Not expected, but can leave extra tip
Tipping is usually not expected in Brazil. However, if you are satisfied with the service provided you can show your appreciation by leaving a small ‘extra’ tip. Receipts usually include a service charge. If there is a service charge there is no need to tip.
