" They take your coat, and give you a receipt. Usually it's a piece of plastic with a number, but sometimes it's a ticket. Then when you're ready to leave, you give the receipt to the person behind the counter and get your coat back.

It's expected that you tip the person behind the counter. It sounds a little
