Is it me, or does the rapid growth of those tip jars really tick off anyone else?

They’re EVERYWHERE. And in many places where asking for tips is completely inappropriate.

ASKING for tips anywhere is inappropriate. It turns a voluntary reward for good service into an extorted payoff to preserve one's reputation

I agree completely. It’s not just on the jars, the tip line shows up on receipts at places where you don’t traditionally tip as well...it’s annoying.

If I have to walk up to you to place an order, and then step aside and stand around and wait on you (as opposed to the other way around, which is how it used to be) then you have no business asking for a tip on the receipt or placing that jar under my nose.
