TAKE THAT TIP JAR OFF THE COUNTER IMMEDIATELY!!!
Tipping is supposed to be a gesture for services rendered AND to supplement a workers income in a service industry where hourly compensation is typically below minimum wage. Serving a cup of coffee over the counter is not the same as running around a busy diner, slingin greassy eggs and getting your tooshie squeezed. C’mon, let’s be real, the toughest pat of counter work is trying to make change when a customer gives you the last minute – “oh wait, I have change”. First off, you’re makin minimum wage. Secondly, you’re barely providing a service. Heck I could probably reach over and grab my own donut and coffee, if it wasn’t for this 5’6 frame and pudgy nubs. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind tipping at all. I’ll throw an appliance installer a fiver or so. Or even the warehouse guy helping get that oversized very unnecessary and overpriced future garage sale item into the trunk. But this whole ‘tip every little service idea’ has spun way outta control. I once saw a tip jar on the counter of a self service coffee bar. No joke, the place even had the muffins on a side counter. The only task for this jacko to do was reach under the counter and grab me a to go cup and collect that $2.25 for that cold and well passed born on date coffee. Unbelievable! Hey, at least he put his cell call on hold to wiat on me. Yeah I gotta tip for ya, take that 65c in your tip jar and buy some poster board. Write up a catchy phrase about how you don’t mind beggin for money and hit the streets. Show some dignity. Cause you sure don’t warrant a tip for doing the absolute bare minimum.
