I don't know if it's because they are technically serving you food that they can get away with this. If I see a tip jar out someplace, I will usually put change or up to a buck in the jar, if I'm happy with the service, just because it never hurts to be generous if you can afford it, and I know that they most likely aren't making a whole lot of money working there to begin with. I don't feel obligated though.Aunt Juiceboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312942310632639442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-89969693833805665462009-10-29T04:59:52.098-07:002009-10-29T04:59:52.098-07:00I always tip at sit-down restaurants.

The tip jar at Starbucks rarely sees anything from me - I think it's a bit of cheek to ask me for a tip with what they charge for their barista expertise, though every now and then, I'll toss something in.Dame Nuisancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627547725026239348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-73098412547423225192009-10-28T19:27:30.181-07:002009-10-28T19:27:30.181-07:00I only tip at sit down restaurants.I only tip at sit down restaurants.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803472040500529682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-71824517863300626332009-10-28T19:06:38.940-07:002009-10-28T19:06:38.940-07:00The Acronym T.I.P.S, comes from the English of mea...The Acronym T.I.P.S, comes from the English of meaning "To Insure Promp Service", and was usually given at the start of a meal!Just a piece of trivia that you may find interesting. <br />The word POSH came from Colonial times, when people travelled Port Out, Starboard Home, so people could stay in the sunshine!Alice in Wonderlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068858292644394838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-26971072319109053102009-10-28T18:23:21.378-07:002009-10-28T18:23:21.378-07:00If it is counter service, I leave my change.If it is counter service, I leave my change.Traciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612857982151448455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-53356729591194946712009-10-28T16:05:04.369-07:002009-10-28T16:05:04.369-07:00My personal policy is that when it comes to anyone...My personal policy is that when it comes to anyone serving my food to me: at a restaurant, deli, drive through will get a tip if one is required or suggested. I've had food poisoning twice in my life so far and I don't want it no more...once in my 20's [after eating at a Caribbean restaurant] and once the night before I had a stroke [after eating at a local dive close to my job at the time]. <br /><br />Either way when it comes to eating outside of my home, gratuity is never a problem with me. Also when you get a rep as a good tipper, favors come your way, a nice way to pay it forward in a round robin kind of way. <br /><br />One more thing, I know people who have worked in the food industry and regardless of perception, you never know the mood of a server, cook or chef, white cloth or paper napkins always beware!<br /><br />I hope all of that made sense.strokeoflivinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750489814772979955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-26823248171209435602009-10-28T14:21:07.449-07:002009-10-28T14:21:07.449-07:00I always figured the "tip" space on thos...I always figured the "tip" space on those receipts was inserted by their POS (point-of-sale) system...and not the management. We generally just leave tips at sit-down restaurants, and throw our change into the jar at others (ice cream shops, etc.)Myrniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585790815417752655noreply@blogger.com
