If you know me personally or you just read the blog you know I have a pretty short fuse. From time to time I get abnormally pissed off about something stupid. Ok great. Today, it's tip jars. I'm in the human gas station aka Dunkin Donuts getting my morning coffee. I noticed it before, but today it made me angry. They have the big coffee mug for tips. Now, I like the people behind the counter. They know me, usually know what I want. Sure they mess it up 3 out of 5 five times but whatever. What makes me mad is, they have the nerve to charge almost 4 smackeroos for a coffee and ask for a tip? GTFOH. This epidemic is growing. Pretty much any place there is a counter and someone behind it, they are asking for a tip. Before we know it, there will be a tip jar at the counter of Abrecombrie and Fitch. What am I supposed to tip on a coffee that was 3.30? A buck? That's like a 30% tip. WTF. This created a whole new problem too. If you're a waiter or a bartender this will effect your tips. If people are tipping every single person they pass on the street, they will be less likely to tip you in a good or even fair way. Here is my list. Waiter, Bartender, Valet, Guy pumping my gas in the rain (because that's the only time I would let someone pump my gas), Stripper, Delivery guy, Auto mechanic hooking me up, Local congressmen that helps "make a problem go away", Caddy (if he helps me cheat it's much bigger), and the people at the car wash, I'm sure there are many more, but now you know why I don't have time or money to be tipping for my iced coffee. Despite popular belief, bloggers don't make much money. Even if I tell girls at the bars the exact opposite.
Oh, and I hope that's not a real foot model in the picture. That is one ugly foot.
