The Tip Jar (An Incendiary Post)

Dunkin' Donuts. Starbucks. Carvel. Delis. Pizza places. Blah, blah, blah.

Why a tip jar there and not in other places. How come my dry cleaner doesn't have a tip jar? My bank? The place I get my morning paper and coffee? I'll tell you why. Because those right thinking people actually work and understand that their good customer service and hard work is paying off in spades with my business.

These other Tip Jar infested places? They are generally populated with people who don't think that the amount I pay for anything (like $2.50 for a cup of coffee) is enough. I should tip them for the one minute of time they devote to me, often never even looking up past their freakin' nose rings to acknowledge me. Sullen and goth...they leave that tip jar there to antagonize me and guilt the weak into dropping a dollah!

I despise you.
