Your Turn

Have you ever seen a tip jar at a business and you were wondering it was there for. I saw one at a department store the other day.

Well I didn't think it was a spittoon if that's what you mean.

I see tip jars at places with counter service but no wait staff like Chinese take outs or sandwich shoppes. Occasionally I stick at Dollar into it for them and often it is quite full, whether they put the $$$ in there themselves to encourage it from you I dunno.

Getting a hot dog at a kiosk at the game. What did you do? You pulled a dog off the grill, put it in a bun and took my money. Do I have to start tipping at McDonalds now?

Tip jar at 7-11. No joke.

Panera Bread is the most egregious example of this. Counter service and you have to bus your own table. And they don't even have a tip jar. It comes up on the pay pad so you have to choose "no tip" right in front of the twelve-year-old who took your order. No dropping two nickels in a tip jar in hopes they think it was quarters. Well played, Panera.

The places which often have tip jars are low paying and the workers have to deal with bitchy customers for hours. I can give them a little more.

At a sandwich counter inside a gas station.
Even if I was going to eat a gas station sandwich, I wouldn't tip for counter service. They make a straight minimum wage. Why should I? I used to run my ass off waiting tables for $2.13/hour + tips in college. Not tipping people who don't do table service.

Our local liquor store has one. The employees never move from behind the counter. I guess they're hoping someone is already drunk enough to leave money for no service.

Just curious. I went into a restaurant I had planned to take a relative to for a birthday to order food at the bar to go. The weather was bad and I didn't want to make said relative go out in the rain.

I ordered our meals and decided to order something light at the bar while waiting. What is the proper amount to tip the bartender who served the gumbo I ordered, but just handed me a bag that had been packed in the back with my to go order.
