Here in our resort area, certain everyday experiences while going about seem very different; for example, many locations selling trinketry or foodstuffs, gift shops or snack concessions, have a large-mouth open jar posted by the cashier, asking for tips. Especially those located within the resort hotels (casinos, IOW). This seems to be a fairly new concept, as I've been around casinos since the 1960s, on and off, and do not remember such solicitation back then anywhere. Today, it's showing up in some everyday retailing operations. Agree with, or not? Got 'em where you live? Frank
@Frank Sanoica I can understand why a small business might employ this idea. There's a very small, local coffee spot near where I live that has a jar for tips. This place is friendly, great coffee and not a hurried 'chain' shop. I like the idea of tipping the person who serves me. Sure that they don't make a whole lot, but everytime I get great service. Nice to say 'Great Job' in a monetary way.
I don't see that here. Many of the small stores will have jars collecting for someone whose house has burned, or who has cancer, or some such thing, and some will have small receptacles for pennies that people can use to pay the odd cent, when a charge comes to $10.02 or something, but restaurants are the only ones where tipping is expected.
Same here.... The only time Ive seen tips in casinos are when someone won playing black jack or something, then they tip the dealer.
