"Barista" is a bullshit Starbucks invention. It's bad enough people use it for that shithole, now it's used for all people ladling out bad coffee?

That hostility aside, fuck tip jars. Everyone has a hand out. I'll tip waiters/waitresses, concierges and bartenders but fuck everyone else. I worked in the service industry in high school and part of university and I didn't expect tips. I worked for my meagre paycheque and I was happy to get it.

Just be glad you're not on the other side of the tip jar, fellas.

Whenever tip jars show up at unexpected places, I always think of the sign in the diner in the 1936 movie Petrified Forest - "Tipping in unAmerican - Keep your change." What the hell does that mean? People were expected to work for their money?

Well said. Much more enjoyable to be the potential benefactor than the person reliant on tips.

Nice Guy Eddie: C'mon, throw in a buck!
Mr. Pink: Uh-uh, I don't tip.
Nice Guy Eddie: You don't tip?
Mr. Pink: Nah, I don't believe in it.
Nice Guy Eddie: You don't believe in tipping?
Mr. Blue: You know what these chicks make? They make shit.
Mr. Pink: Don't give me that. She don't make enough money that she can quit.
Nice Guy Eddie: I don't even know a fucking Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me get this straight: you don't ever tip?
Mr. Pink: I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.
Mr. Blue: Hey, our girl was nice.
Mr. Pink: She was okay. She wasn't anything special.
Mr. Blue: What's special? Take you in the back and suck your dick?
Nice Guy Eddie: I'd go over twelve percent for that.

As soon as I found myself on the other side of it, I'd know something was very wrong and priority one would be to get my ass back to this side.

It's bad enough they're asking for a handout, it's worse that they don't see it as a problem. Ringing up my order correctly on a cash register - oh, a machine that does the math for you - doesn't qualify for a tip.
