What do you think of "Tip Jars"?

Question

I don't think they should be allowed. Yet I always find myself leaving a tip even though I hate it.

When you leave pocket change they always notice, if you leave a bill, they're always looking the other way. Even if you try to time it when they're watching.

Answer 1

Well, I like them!  I work at a self-serve Frozen Yogurt shop and I have one and even though all I do is ring people up I somehow end up making around 20-30 a night.  Its great to have spending money and not have to wait 2 weeks for a paycheck.

Answer 2

Tacky

Answer 3

I don't give them any thought one way or the other.

Answer 4

Can't stand them.

Why should everyone have to pay an extra dollar for their Starbucks or a bottle of water, a soda, or an ice cream cone.  It's like a 30% increase in price for somebody doing what they're hired to do.  Owners shouldn't allow them.

I still tip, because I feel obligated.  But it makes me bitter.

Answer 5

they are a great source of extra income. I usually use the quarters for parking meters.
