- diggyduggle, on 06/10/2009, -0/+121There were some clever tip jars in this post. I personally liked the fish who could only swim in dollars, please don't let me die!

Edit: Narcism is faster than me, but at least I can spell! Digg mine! - krellor, on 06/10/2009, -0/+83Some of them are funny, but I hate feeling pressured into tipping. I tip if it is standard for that industry, meaning their pay isn't factored into the bill, or if someone goes above and beyond.
- freecris, on 06/10/2009, -2/+85Nice 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 *****.
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 ***** 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.
Reservoir Dogs. Must see it again... - geodebug, on 06/10/2009, -1/+83Some of these would inspire me to throw in that extra quarter or two.
- taox, on 06/10/2009, -0/+70Heh heh, counter intelligence.
- Skurt, on 06/10/2009, -5/+57Tip jars at the counter are nothing more than begging.
Unfortunately, the places I go with Tip jars, I go often enough that I don't want to be 'that guy' so I always drop my change, EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T DESERVE IT.
They did nothing extra, they only do their jobs.
I walk to the counter
I place my order
I hand the cashier my money
They do their job
I have to put in a tip or get ***** in my food/drink, whatever.
They don't come to my table, they don't take my check, they don't do anything more than what they are paid for and yet here we are, staring at a tip jar and them looking at you like "What are you, some kind of cheap bastard?", "Put in a tip, for crying out loud"
Oh yeah, these are very creative ways of asking for a HANDOUT, just like the beggars on the street,
"Why Lie?", "Need money for Beer!"
"Need money for Ninja lessons"
"Space aliens took my house, need money for astronaut lessons"
etc., et. al.
Glorified Corporate Begging
I don't mind tipping, I just don't think I should be GUILTED into tipping for non tipping service and worry how things will turn out if I don't/next time I'm there. - jiminoc, on 06/10/2009, -3/+53hey that's my initech tip jar!
I've actually gotten a few $'s in it. Unfortunately the cleaning crew stole it over night. :( - Narcism, on 06/10/2009, -13/+60http://rorr.im
- gilgamesh23, on 06/10/2009, -4/+47Give us the money Lebowski!
- MindTrigger, on 06/10/2009, -1/+40I see so many tip jars everywhere I go these days that I no longer notice them, or feel obligated to put any money in them most places.
If you want a tip from me, try having a great attitude and doing your job with accuracy and style. Just sticking a tip jar in my face is not enough. - RockyCosmos, on 06/10/2009, -0/+38Anyone else have a strong urge to throw a quarter into JJ's basketball hoop tip-jar?
- atm259, on 06/10/2009, -2/+35Help send lance bass to space.
...and leave him there. - JulieChu, on 06/10/2009, -2/+27The goldfish is brillant! It's my favorite - with Lebowski in close second.
- algaeturd, on 06/10/2009, -0/+25Yeah, this goes back to the argument where everyone who works for a living feels like they deserve a tip. It's not how tips started out and it's not where they'll end....there's a photo of a woman selling t-shirts at a festival or something. Selling T-shirts. With a ***** tip jar out in front of her.
She's basically nothing more than a common beggar tethered to a t-shirt booth.
What does she do? Take your money? Fold the shirt up and put it in a ***** bag, perhaps? Give you your change?
Exactly what about this deserves a tip?
I tip really ***** well. I've lived off of tips in the past so I know what it's like. But I don't care what anyone calls me, how they act or what the reaction is: If you're doing your job and you're doing JUST the job you're paid to do, you'll never get a tip from me. Tips are for workers who go above and beyond the call in certain, specific occupations. The lines aren't burred and it's not a personal call...there is an etiquette to tipping. Read up on it. If someone falls outside of those areas, be polite to them, thank them but don't tip them. - wpc33, on 06/10/2009, -0/+23The ones that insult you in advance, or the ones that use god as a lever, guarantee a 0% tip.
- brownsound00, on 06/11/2009, -0/+23"Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can, and do, cut my own hair. I did, however, tip my urologist. Because, I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones."
- Dwight Shrute. - yaysanta, on 06/10/2009, -0/+22At a pizza restaurant in my town their tip jar warns "No tips is spit on backwards" i always liked that.
- lulutv, on 06/11/2009, -1/+23You sure that guy worked there? Seems like he was hitting on you.
- Talphin, on 06/10/2009, -0/+21I went to a strip club once that had a bathroom attendant (I think that's what they are called), and he had a tip jar, with only a single $5 bill sitting in it, blatantly visible. So, not only was I pissed off that this guy was standing there watching me piss, I was pissed off that I was guilted into giving him $5 for standing there and watching me piss... Bastard.
- cheddaro, on 06/10/2009, -0/+20I went to another bar in Colorado that had a tip jar like that.
I bet you wouldn't have guessed it, but they do not like it when you just take a fist full of change and throw it towards the jar. - rblancarte, on 06/10/2009, -0/+20I hate tip jars (except at bars). Most of the time when I see them, they are at places like Starbucks or the like, where I know that the people make minimum wage. Sorry, get back to me when you are making 2.13 an hour. Till then, no tip.
- Philbert, on 06/10/2009, -0/+19My local Starbucks has been doing something I thought was creative recently. Nothing too elaborate though. they have two tip jars (one for each register) and they're putting signs on there with things like "Friends" on one and "The Office" on the other or "flight" and "super strength". They change them every day. It's subtle, but fun for the customers and probably drives up tips since people want to see their choice win.
- sluggermoore, on 06/10/2009, -1/+20I believe Obama may have been misquoted.
- Rain12913, on 06/10/2009, -1/+20What kind of bars do you go to where the guy in the bathroom gives you cologne, cigarettes, and chewing gum?
- sloth15, on 06/10/2009, -3/+21When it comes to food service I tip waitresses and bartenders. Everyone else can piss off.
You know who I get paid by? My company. If I were to go to my customers and ask (on a completely voluntary basis) for a cash tip, I would be fired. And rightfully so. - gambl0r, on 06/10/2009, -2/+19A shop near me used 'Don't be like Mr. Pink' on their tip jar. It made me tip!
- Vaiper, on 06/10/2009, -1/+17I'm torn!!!! I must digg you both...but...but....ahhhhhhhh!
- GregLoire, on 06/11/2009, -0/+16I'll tip well in restaurants when I'm being waited on, or when food is delivered to my house, but not when I'm just ordering my food at the counter. Generally the people who really deserve tips do not have a tip jar.
At college I was getting pizza at a pizza place, where you just order at the counter and they call your number to pick it up when it's ready. The guy in front of me was paying with a credit card, and when he was signing, the cashier made a point of showing him where on the receipt he was meant to leave his tip. It struck me as incredibly rude and presumptuous -- I just used cash at that place from then on. - lulutv, on 06/11/2009, -0/+16Exactly. I just paid nearly $5 for a cup of coffee a machine actually made. If you don't make enough money, take it up with your bosses. I tip servers and bartenders. Period. But even they still have to be nice and timely and get my order right.
- Red1Delta, on 06/10/2009, -22/+37Yay! Lets tip everyone for everything now!!! ***** pathetic.
- darkstar107, on 06/10/2009, -0/+15I hate it when bars have these guys, you don't want to tip them but they're always right in your face when you go to wash your hands...so annoying.
- Hellicus, on 06/11/2009, -0/+13Cool story bro.
- uknowwhoibe, on 06/10/2009, -0/+13There was a bar in Colorado that I frequently attended: the tip jar as back about five feet from the wooden bar, and they let you bounce quarters from the bar into it (or around, or down bartenders' shirts, etc.) - if you made it, you got a free shot!
I usually averaged one free shot per $7 in quarters. - kzoopSF, on 06/10/2009, -3/+16Love the sea monster!
- DeathtoG4, on 06/10/2009, -1/+14Damn hippies
- hackiavelli, on 06/10/2009, -0/+13The "trickle down economy" one was brilliant.
- spar13, on 06/10/2009, -0/+12The service sucked but your tip jar is perfect! Here's a dollar.
- Vbp6us, on 06/11/2009, -1/+12Thank you. I hate how everyone thinks they are deserving of a tip. That pic of the chick in a clothing store with a tip jar...WTF? Are you kidding me? Tips should be given at will and only in eating environments where they clean up after you or if they are serving you.
- chickentonight, on 06/11/2009, -0/+11Didn't you know? It automagically figures out the url.
- kdmkdmkdm, on 06/11/2009, -0/+11WHAT? How
- Skurt, on 06/10/2009, -1/+12PC LOAD LETTER is an error message encountered when printing on older HP LaserJet printers such as the LaserJet II, III, and 4 series. The error is always displayed fully capitalized.
The actual meaning of the message is convoluted: "PC" is a two-character status code that stands for "Paper Cassette", the tray that holds blank paper for the printer to use. These two-character codes are a legacy feature carried over from the first LaserJet printers, which could only use a two-character display for all printer status and error messages.
"Load", in this context, is an instruction to refill the paper tray. "Letter" is the standard paper size used in the United States and Canada. Thus, the error is instructing the user to refill the letter paper tray. A variant is PC LOAD LEGAL, meaning that the printer requires legal size paper be loaded. - cam0man, on 06/10/2009, -3/+13I don't know why you're complaining, I love those guys. I'll glady pay him a buck every couple of pisses for their hilarious stories, some cologne, a cig, and some gum.
Usually you walk into a bathroom, look in the mirror, and realize how ***** you are. These dudes are at least able to bail you out a bit with something that makes you look a tad less 'fresh out of the gutter'. - cam0man, on 06/11/2009, -1/+10LOL, dude, I always take advice from gay dudes - they're about 1000% more aware of what chicks are into than 99% of the straight friends I have!
maybe next time you'll get some more action if you listen up to a few flaming gay dudes, eh? works for me everytime! ahahhaha - inactive, on 06/11/2009, -1/+10I dont drink 5 coffees per hour. Also, tipping a bartender results in them putting more alcohol in your drink or giving you a free shot or round.
PS Please shoot me if i ever say the word barista - Foenetik, on 06/10/2009, -2/+11I like "stop staring at my tips" personally. I also get the feeling a lot of these are from Austin.
- beervolcano, on 06/10/2009, -0/+8If I could Digg this comment again, I would.
- kiwimonk, on 06/11/2009, -0/+7Well no surprise, thievery is rampant among Initech employees... or so I hear.
- haikuFU, on 06/11/2009, -5/+12I once bought a cyberskin pocket pussy at a sex shop and stretched it over the top of a donations jar near a keg at a party. It had a sign that said "Touch the pussy, $5". It had over $200 in it by the end of the night. It was all discolored from the dirt and crap on people's fingers too, it was disgusting looking.
