When I was 16 and working at Friendly's (hi g3!) as an ice cream scooper, we had no tip jar (I think that they might now), but sometimes, out of the foodness of their hearts, people who came in and ordered a bunch of sundaes to go, or even those who were picking up to go food orders, gave me a tip of a couple of bucks. I must say, as an underpaid, never-much-cash-in-my-pocket high school student, I appreciated those people. And I never spit in *their* ice cream.

I have no point. Just thought I would share.

I sometimes throw my change in the Starbucks tip jar and I never buy anything there that costs more than $3 (I don't go to Starbucks very often and I can't remember whether the tea costs more than $2 or not, but I think not). The change means nothing to me, so I don't care whether it was earned or whether it is a tip-appropriate service or not. I doubt they make a killing off of the proceeds of the tip jar. They probably started putting one up because some people were tipping and if there is a tip jar, the tips are actually shared by all employees instead of the counter kids getting all the tips.

Hi! You are a nice lady as well as a pretty lady.
