[QUOTE="donna723, post: 81493, member: 1883"] GG, I know exactly what you mean! I've never put anything in one of these "tip jars" and I probably never will. The servers who bring the food to your table are usually all over you, killing you with kindness in hopes of getting a bigger tip. But it almost seems like most counter people are getting ruder and ruder! It's like you [i]bothered[/i] them by making them do their job and they're making a great effort to hand you your food and take your money! I had tires put on my car very early yesterday morning and was going shopping from there so I hadn't had anything to eat. I stopped at a McDonalds. There were a lot of people in the drive-thru line, a crowd of people in front of the counter, and at least ten employees behind the counter yelling at each other - total chaos! I joined the crowd in what appeared to be the line, but it turned out that all those people had already ordered and were waiting for their food. Pretty soon it was down to just me. And I stood there and stood there ... and stood there. Hello!! Am I invisible?? Is this the "Twilight Zone"? Nobody even looked at me! Finally I just walked out. If they had a "tip jar" it would have been empty! 45 minutes later I got to where the mall is and stopped in a Hardees, starving by this time. I got waited on and after a short time of standing there holding my number (I was "18"), she shoved my hamburger across the counter at me. I said "Thank you". She looked very surprised and said, "You're welcome"! I feel like saying, "[i]Hey kid, you don't have it so bad! My brother worked on a chicken farm when he was your age! Nasty! And my daughter worked in a nursing home wiping old people's rears! You are shoving hamburgers across a counter! Get over it kid[/i]!" [/QUOTE]
