Tuckshops

A tuck shop is a small, food-selling retailer. It is a term principally used in the UK, Ireland, Grenada, South Africa, Nigeria, New Zealand, Jamaica, Australia, Pakistan, India, and occasionally in other parts of the former British Empire. In New South Wales and Queensland, the term is interchangeable with the word canteen.

When the tuck shop is in a school, it is frequently the only place (other than the school canteen) where monetary transactions can be made. As such, particularly in the UK, they often sell items of stationery too, although food is still their primary source of income and customers. In Australia, at both youth clubs, campsites, and schools, the tuck shop is mainly staffed by volunteers from the community, which may include students, parents and, in the case of clubs, its members. The term is also used in Indian boarding schools. In Canada, summer camps often have tuck shops for the same reason, to allow campers to buy small items while away from home. Some hospitals in Canada have tuck shops too, though now it's more common for them to be called gift shops.

Tuck shops in a long-term care facility typically sell personal hygiene items such as razors, soap, and shampoo.

The term "tuck", meaning food, is slang and probably originates from such phrases as "to tuck into a meal". It is closely related to the Australian English word "tucker", meaning food. A tuck shop typically sells confectionery, sandwiches, finger-food, such as sweets, crisps, soft drinks and such. Recently there have been moves to change to a wider variety of "healthier" foods. In Australia, where the tuck shop will typically be the only source of bought food at the school/club, the menu is more substantial and is more similar to the school dinners provided by the British government.
