Workers at businesses like McDonald's and Walmart could soon be able to accept cash tips under a proposed law before the Colorado legislature.
If enacted, the bill would keep an employer "from taking adverse action against an employee who accepts a cash gratuity offered by a patron of the business," per a summary of the proposal. The bill passed the Colorado state house and senate earlier this month and is now headed to Governor Jared Polis for a signature.
Tipping has become more common at shops and restaurants, with many businesses adding a prompt asking for a tip to digital payment screens. But some businesses, including big names in retail, don't allow their employees to take cash tips from customers.
Walmart, for example, has historically forbidden its employees from accepting cash tips, as has McDonald's. Neither company immediately responded to requests for comment on their policies or the Colorado bill from Insider.

I see nothing wrong with that.
Dem city fast food worker hinting at wanting a tip.
Urban dweller: “Here’s your tip, sucker. Next time don’t forget my nugget sauce.”
Five shots in the chest from a .45
Tip backlash. Report tip jars to IRS.
Tipping for what? Ringing up your purchase which they get a salary to do? I have a tip for them. Don’t smoke in bed.
Tipping is out of control in this country. Just name the price for the service.
I tip for good service with smiles, only!
Yeah...I MIGHT tip a Wal-Market or Spitburger employee.
Tipping in a Denver McDonald’s? For what? Bringing what you ordered at a kiosk to the pick-up counter and yelling your order number? Or tipping for getting your order correct in the middle of a pot-induced haze?
Tip for a basic service!? Screw that.
Pay your employees more and quit trying to guilt-trip people into paying more. What a load of Bovine Excrement!
I’ll bet this is about employers being able to claim that the employees are tipped workers. Then the employers can cut their regular wages.
My tip: don’t let people walk out of the store with stolen stuff.
Tipping Chipotle workers at a fast casual restaurant (fancy fast food)?
No service provided.
Agreed. Got a dirty look from the clerk that handed me my cookie when I didn’t push the tip button. She never even took a step!
Entitlement.
Tip Walmart. LOL, I check myself out. At least they’re not charging for plastic bags anymore.
I gave a lady at Walmart a $5 tip the other week because she was running the only full service checkout and was working her butt off while I saw numerous coworkers of hers standing around chit-chatting with each other and basically doing nothing. She deserved it!
Tipping creates and ENTITLED CLASS of people and I’m sick of it, particularly in jurisdictions that already require the paying of a ‘living wage’ to all workers. In Texas, we don’t have that crap and many servers get sub-minimum wages, so I do continue to tip here - but send me to a blue state, and it’s tough crap on them (and some of them almost get violent about it).
I’m not trying to be argumentative but what you saw was somebody doing their job. When you get hired you’re supposed to do the job as outlined in the job requirements. Its Wal-Mart’s responsibility to reward their employees not ours.
If you want to give someone money that’s your business. I give money to people who ask me for it all the time. I’m not tipping the salaried employees at every store I go into from now on. Its a ridiculous idea. Soon you’ll have to tip the Fed Ex driver, the UPS driver, the Amazon driver, the mailman, the pharmacist and basically everyone you do business with. Its a really bad idea.
