Someone responded to my previous question about why we would think that people at mcdonalds, etc. expect tips. Everywhere I go there are tip jars sitting on the counters. In Blimpies where I stand and order and carry out, at the little deli in my building at work where I stand and order and carry out, at my pizza place where I run in and pick up a phoned in order. It makes me feel awful because I go in with my debit card and never have cash on me, I have hand written a tip in on the receipt but then wonder when this whole "tip everyone" thing started. I was a bartender and I did have a tip jar because I was paid well under minimum wage and tips are expected but not at every fast food place in the world.
