However, I'm sure some of the employees to really appreciate it when someone adds some money to the tip jar. It is used in places where tips are less common. You probably don't need to tip your Taco Bell employee 15%, but a few cents does add up over the thousand customers in a day. I'm sure the employees split it all up at the end of the day, it has nothing to do with the business owner, it would be something set up by the employees. I like the idea of tipping a large amount to the people who seem to do a good job, and serve you well... I'll have to see about that this-year at my usual coffee shop.

I questioned for a bit and finally said, "I'm giving you $7. I hope you're not full of sh*t." But I knew she was. Does it matter to me that it was probably for drugs? A little. I made her smile for a while and that's enough for me. Is giving a smoker a match bad too? Well, she didn’t say it was for crack, she said it was for a bus ticket to Minnesota.

Do we really need to tip them? UBU, I understand leaving tips at restaurants… but I am talking about a glass jar sitting next to the cash register at a place like Taco Bell or Burger King.

They are supposed to make up the difference with tips! If people don't leave tips, the people who get hurt are those who make $2.13 an hour. It's fraud for a business owner to keep tips that belong to employees. In Arizona and some other states, restaurant workers make $2.13 an hour instead of the $5+ minimum wage that everyone else gets.

What can one measley dollar do for me?" My S.O. doesn't understand my angst over deciding what to do with the small amounts I get monthly from my Prosper loans. It may only be $1.38, but that's $1.38 that I took substantial risk to earn, only to have it sitting interest-free at Prosper. I still don't have a good solution, short of adding more money to meet the $50 minimum to roll it into another loan. It would be ideal if they added a modest money market account on the site, or direct deposit back into my personal account. Ken– I couldn’t agree more with “You might say that it’s only a dollar.

Are you giving this change to the person or business because they deserve a tip, or is it because you don't care about the money? Does that money get divided among the people who worked to serve you that food or does it go into the pocket of the owner? I’m all for tipping… but is this really tipping?
