Charleston, SC
The first of each month is Theme Day for the Daily Photo community and participants from all over the world are posting pictures that represent the word "Empty" in some way. It was too dark when I got home to hunt for a picture today but I had this one in my album file and thought it might suit. Either someone wasn't happy with their tip or someone stole a tip jar.

This is super. I'd vote for someone stealing the tip jar. Whatever, though, a great post!
ReplyDeleteI like it!!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting choice for the theme day, very different!
ReplyDeleteI vote for someone rebelling against the standard of service with an act of defiance against the tips jar (got to start small after all!)
Dang thieves!
ReplyDeleteThe theft of tip jars is not uncommon on the peninsula where foot traffic is dense and identification is often difficult. More often the bum just reaches in, grabs the bill and bolts. If he takes the jar it is quickly tossed. On the other hand one wonders why tips are expected when a business is all self service, nothing is prepared for or brought out to the customer and only a cashier is present. Irrational guilt is the pressure with which they further shake down the customer. Don't give into it unless you are swept away with gratitude for receiving correct change. With the absurdly high prices you pay in Charleston there can be no room for customer guilt.
ReplyDeleteNot only is the jar empty, it also appears to be broken as well...
ReplyDeleteI might as well offer my tip...
Time to get a new tip jar!
