Why is there a tip jar at starbucks/dunkin donuts etc.??

[Chief]

giving a tip is like a slap in the face to them if u go by the "theyre getting minimum wage" theory...its like ur saying "take this change and buy ur own donut u peasant"

a tip I always thought was to be given for someone going out of their way to assist/help you...giving great customer service etc...i doubt thats happening in dunkin donuts frequently...they give u ur coffee and u keep it moving

Always tip brehs, no matter what. Ive been working in the restaurant business for 5 years now..bartending and serving. Every dollar counts I believe that if you do good things for other people good things will come back to you

I can actually personally confirm that this statement is false.

On another related note, working hard gets you nowhere in life as well.

That is all.

I dont mind tipping if the service is exceptional. To me it seems like a excuse for employers to pay lower wages.
