So... You Like Taking My Nickel, Ehhhhhhhhhhhh!

Why do people tip?
Answer: To show your service person that the service that they did for you was exceptional.

When NOT to tip:
Answer: When YOU have to do the work, as in a cafeteria buffet or stopping for a cup of coffee in the morning.

What do you do when the "female cashier" who should be immediately handing you your change from $2.00 for your $1.95 cup of coffee hesitates handing you your nickel? Worse, you look away for a second so that "female cashier" finally throws your nickel in the Tip Cube?

You never go to that location again.
They lose your business, which amounted to $9.75 a week (this is a lot of loot when you figure coffee once was a dime a cup with free refills).

Sure, this may be petty, but getting my nickel change only 39 times would basically get me a free cup of coffee!

What have I been doing for my morning coffee since I was ripped off for a nickel?

Coffee at the company is pee weak and bitter, so I am having a second coffee service come in. This way I will choose the coffee I like better. If that are both just as bad, I will keep the cheaper company.

I have gone out of my way to go to other locations of that Nickel Usurper, in fact one that is a penny cheaper!

So to all businesses BE ON NOTICE: If you wonder why you are losing customers, could it be that your cashiers gave incorrect change or over priced or threw your nickel in the Tip Cube?
