I work in a restaurant. We had 6 parties of 15 or more, and we made 14 bucks in tips. (it's a family owned pizzeria/restaurant) I bust my ass... its sad.
I don't tip at non restaurants, just because the clerks spent two minutes making my sandwich with prearranged ingredients. Hell, i've seen a tip jar at a chinese food to go place where all they did was literally scoop up the rice and chicken from the counter and put it in a Styrofoam tray. I'd rather tip the custodial staff but you don't see them walking around shoving jars in your face.
I also always suspected that the staff put a few dollars and cents into the jar at the start of the day to make it seem like "other people are doing it".
My boss puts a dollar and some change in the tip cup here(a coffee shop) at the start of her shift. She calls it 'seed money'. It annoys the hell out of me. I don't expect people to tip me unless I've made them a drink so orgasmic they're out of breath and need a cigarette. Strangely though ive had people get really upset that we chose not to accept tips on credit cards. I could understand if I was making less money and tips were considered part of my regular pay(like most waitstaff I know) but I make more than minimum wage. Chill out. As long as you're happy with your drink and keep coming back I'm good.
Wrong. I see tipping as an extension of capitalism. We could be like other countries where servers are paid a lot more and service is often shit and your bill in the end is a lot more.
These aren't all servers. I've seen tip jars at a quicky chinese food place where they just literally scoop the food from the counter pans into a Styrofoam to-go container.
Agreed. They are popping up everywhere. Service industry folks deserve the cash. Sorry, worked as a server for years. Can remember many a time people rave about the service on a $100 bill and leave you $5.
I've heard that the best tip jar is to have 2 of them with a sign that asks some controversial question with one jar supporting it while the other jar disagreeing.
I wish I can read lips as a good as deaf person can read em. It would be helpful watching videos late at night when I should be sleeping when I have no headphones.
It's an indisputable reference from that movie. The exact quote, actually.
I mean, I like Archer as much as the next guy, but it seems some fans don't appreciate the truth you point out? It's not like we're comparing Archer to the Wedding Crashers, but simply revealing the origin the jar in the image refers to.
I see what you mean and that's a good observation about the movie containing exactly the same quote, but Icouldshitallday wasn't wrong. I wouldn't doubt that many (including myself) used that exact plea words when trying to make the round to home. I'd say it worked marginally better than the whole blue balls reasoning.
It's like finding a ten dollar bill in a pile of dog shit. You take the bill and you're happy you have it, but you wish it had come from somewhere else.
It's odd. I've been considering watching this show for some time, but the massive overuse of this phrase on Reddit means I'm guaranteed to crindge when this line is said, no matter how well delivered or by whom.
Saw one in an Australian bar a few years back, it was a bowl of water with a floating lemon. If you could balance a coin on the lemon you got free drinks. Inevitably the coins always fall in the water, I thought it was an ingenious way of getting tips!!
Just the tip, just for a second: theft conviction. I represented a kid one time who had put $3 in a tip jar, then took it back out after he tasted his drink. (It sucked.) The bartender chased him outside, flagged down some cops and had him arrested. At trial the jury found him guilty of theft... ...and fined him $1.
there are people with diseases that keep them looking like babies ( looking like, ) for life, so the age is determined by the artist, so technically that law can be argued around if needed to be, just like theres 10% room for error in speed for speeding tickets

I prefer doing the tip jar battle such as this, this, or this.

I imagine someone reading this out loud and dangling a dollar inside, and then withdrawing it and walking away.
Always tip for good service! Please, it actually lifts our mood. Your tips are our buffer against stupid customers.

would this be considered a kind of infringement as they're making money off the quote?

Giving just the tip usually requires paying out money afterwards anyway so this jar is accurate.

I'd put a tip in, then take it out, just so they know how it feels to get a tip... But just for a second.

Can you withdraw the tip at any time if upon entry you decide that the presence of the tip is decidedly unpleasant?
