Re: dear God when will it end?
[ QUOTE ]
If somebody, even if it's only one customer, might want to leave a tip for me, should I not accept it? [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. My father once told me that there's a simple question you can ask yourself if you're the employee in a situation like this where you have a close situation, and you're deciding whether to leave the tip jar out or not: "Would I rather the money were in my pocket or somebody else's?"

Re: dear God when will it end?
If I have to get up and get my food, I'm not tipping. Tipping is for:
Tattoos/Piercings Waiters/Waitresess Pizza Guys/Chinese Delivery and that's it. Starbucks is so overpriced as it is, I wouldn't give them another dime. (Exception: I know someone working and they give me free coffee, then I tip)

Re: dear God when will it end?
Congratulations. You have discovered the fact that panhandlers make more money than they would if they didn't panhandle.
Now the only question is hourly rate.

Of course they make money at it, but it's still pathetic, just like putting the stupid styrofoam cup out on the counter at Starbucks. There are a lot of things one can do for money if he's really pathetic. For instance, I'll give you $20 to eat some dog poo. You'll have money, but you'll also still be pathetic.

[/ QUOTE ] I said "if it's a close situation". Is eating dog poo a close situation? Panhandling might be if the money means something to you. I'm sure that the money in the tip jar means something to the workers. Enough that they probably wouldn't sweat a thread or two in OOT.
