Tip Jar at a Gas Station. WTF?

I’ve seen tip jars as gas stations for decades.

Solution: Don’t tip.

I always tip 20% on my gas purchases.

Where the frick do you live?

I've seen the March of Dimes jars and the help out the crippled kid down the road jars, but I have NEVER seen a jar with TIPS at a gas station.

Zero taxes on tips must've set some stuff in motion.

My goals whenever I have to patronize a Circle K:

- Avoid being asked for money in the parking lot
- Avoid any customers fighting each other
- Avoid a customer cussing out the clerk
- Avoid standing behind someone buying scratch off lottery tickets
- Avoid standing behind someone without enough money to pay for their tall boy, dill pickle, and chips, then having to wait for someone else to walk in with the balance.
- A clerk that can find and hand me my Zyns within 15 seconds.

I’ll gladly tip a dollar if the above criteria is met.

I look for Circle Ks lately because you typically get between 5-15 cents back per gallon if you use the Upside app and sign up for their rewards program and you get a nickel off the top per gallon. Their rewards and cash back program are much higher than any of other gas stations around my area.

I use Upside like a Piggy Bank. I don't touch it all year and then by December I have close to $1K to "treat myself" to something stupid.

Do they perform full service I'm not aware of?

Nobody is forcing you to put money in it bro. No idea why this gets so people so worked up

Honestly, if anybody deserves a little something extra here and there, it's a graveyard shift gas station cashier that has to see the absolute weirdest shite you could ever imagine.
