(13,634 posts)all there anyway? I worked at a Skippers from 79-81 and even though we had servers, it was enough like a regular fastfood place that most people never tipped. You placed your order at the counter but we brought the food to your table.
Nice gimmick anyway. "You don't need to tip at our restaraunt." People will think that's cool and probably not think that they wouldn't have anyway.

Dunkin Donuts is one, Starbucks is another. There was a Hardees in Virginia, we use to visit, that also had tip jars on their counter. I always wondered if the jars got many tips.

(14,449 posts)The staff is extraordinary, but the food was awful. I was taken aback when the staff said no tipping. I believe I forced them to take the tip by having to go to the manager who grudgingly allowed me to.
