Tip jars. Your thoughts.

[Landon_McFly]

C'mon guys, this isn't that tough.


If you work in fast food, you usually hate your job. 99% of Big Mac's taste the same, there's nothing personal about them.

nicer restaurants are different because you are tipping the waitresss according to the quality of serive you are given. (and most servers are paid less then min. wage unless you count tips)

Places liken starbucks are different. One of my best friends works at one that's within a supermarket. Honestly, she's one of the biggest bitches in the world, but at work, she treats everyone like an angel. It's crazy. She has so many regular customers that she usually already knows what they want to drink, and she remembers all the specifics if they like the drink a certain way.

She certainly doesn't HAVE to treat customers this way. There's another girl who works at the same starbucks who doesn't make as much in tips, but is better looking so I know it's not about looks. Many people that tip her are older women who she actaully talks to about stuff, and remembers things such as their kids names.

My point is... if it's a place you frequently visit, and you feel that you are getting better service than the average Joe who just walked in for the first time, then you better tip like you know it. Otherwise, you're a dik who's taking great service for granted.
