Tip him/her $10-20 occasionally when you pick your car up, you'll reap the benefits from it over time...it's amazing what people will do for you when they feel appreciated....because they're so used to not being appreciated by others.
Exactly.
Same goes for the $20 trick at hotels. A little bribery goes a long way.

I give each of my garbage men $20 and help them load the truck in front of my house every christmas and they have always let me exceed the limit on the number of bags they can pick up at once.
it's one of the biggest jokes out there, with the main joke being on the punter who has to pay the wages of the staff, then the tip goes to the owner, what a big ****ing, right wing joke!
abolish it
Just curious but how do know that Tip Jars are a right-wing creation?
I see Tip Jars at liberal establishments such as Starbucks.
and as someone who has waited tables, let me tell you, I was 100% honest when claiming my daily earnings at cash out. all waiters are.
I waited tables through high school/college and was 100% honest too. I knew a few people who were dishonest, but everyone knew they were d-bags anyway. Given the fact that most people pay with credit/debit cards anyway, it is hard to not be honest. The restaurants I worked at would question servers who had big differences between credit/cash tips ("the system shows you had an 18% average on credit card tips but you only said you got 7% with your cash, what's going on"?)

I was being sarcastic. perhaps it's because I waited tables before everyone paid with a card, but my restaurant didn't require you to claim jack. none of the waiters did. when I delivered pizza freshman year of college, I didn't claim anything.

it's pretty much standard. that $2.13 an hour I was paid was gobbled up in taxes. our two week paychecks used to be like $13.
I tip for counter service if the person does a good job. If I pay with cash I give the change (coins, not dollars) to the tip jar. If the person is nice, goes above what they had to do, why wouldn't I tip just because it isn't a sit-down restaurant?
I agree. These workers deal with people all day and often have a very fast pace and multitasking to deal with. If they can do this and remain affable and friendly, Hell yeah they deserve some extra cash for themselves!
It's become a dividing issue among many. Look, These workers do not make high incomes. Some are in school, Some may be seeking employment in a different field. Some may enjoy it as a permanent job even. But it is still a restaurant and I cannot see the uproar of giving them some extra change or a dollar at least that will add up and give them at least some extra income.
Nope I do not tip...if I go to Starbucks (which is rare) I just paid too much for coffee anyway...and to see a tip jar-I don't know it kind of infuriates me...
At waitress/waiter places....yes I do...but if the service stinks..no I don't.
