View Full Version : How much change will you just dump into the tip jar?

I hate carrying change around, so I usually try to get rid of it.

I've found that anything less than 50 cents goes into the tip jar, no questions asked. If the girl serving my bagel is a bitch, if my food is covered in mold, if the restaurant smells like a bathroom... whatever, I don't want to carry it around.

For some reason, though, if my change includes more than two quarters I'm more compelled to save it, or at least only give it as a tip if it's deserved.

Why? I don't [censored] know.

Inspiring comments welcomed.

Counter jockeys deserve exactly what they're making. A Starbucks near me has a tip jar on the shelf of the frickin' drive thru window. As if.

it's getting kind of silly. There must have been some study that told all the servers that a good % of the population will throw money at them if they just put a jar out...

Tip jars are socialistic.

Look counter monkey,(aka Barista) you're getting paid to do a job by your employer. I see no reason why I should subsidise his decision to hire to other than paying $2 for a cup of coffee.

And please stop with the "tipping is good for carma crap"

Do your job. Cash your paycheck. Keep you hands out of my wallet. (Oh, and feel free to get a higer paying job rather than begging me to give you my spare change. Oh and if you do want the spare change, at least offer to wash my car windows or pump gas into my car).
