I'll tell you something I do kinda resent, though. Tip jars at cafe registers. Couple of reasons.
1. Most people who work a register are getting paid considerably more per hour than waiters.
2. The tip is supposed to be for the work they do. Waiters attend to your needs from the moment you sit down, all through the meal. They check with you periodically to be sure the food is acceptable, and to refill drinks, bring condiments, etc. At a cafe, they hand you a mug so you can go over to the coffee carafe and fill it. They drop a muffin in a paper bag. So, I think ordinarily there shouldn't be tip jars by the register at a cafe. One cafe I went to a while back even had a note taped to the jar that said "Ever heard of college?" Fuck that. I won't take attitude from a glass jar.
