We’ll be discussing the new phenomenon of the tip jar that seems to be creeping up on every counter – from the dry cleaner, the coffee stop and the gas station.
I always thought that the ‘got a penny, leave a penny’ thing was fine…in fact the first time I saw one of these jars, I thought it was the same kind of thing..then I saw loonies and toonies inside and was taken back…oh, it’s for tips.
People argue that coffee servers, etc., are paid minimum wage and that the extra change you leave helps them enormously. It also is quite the same as service you get in a restaurant.
Those on the other side of the debate say that there is no way that the service is of the same nature and that tip jars are just greedy.
What do you think?
