Just drop a couple coins in there and be on your way.
Do they take apple pay to give me coins?

That delivery fee on Pizza is BS. That started when i was in college in the early 2000's when gas prices were really high. I got stiffed a lot because many customers thought the driver got that . The kicker was that the driver drove his/her own car, paid their own insurance and gas. Why are these these places charging delivery fee like 5 bucks when the driver is the one who is taking all the risk. Until customers stop paying /tipping on what used to be considered a person's /companies normal job then this will never end.

This isn't anything knew. I don't blame them for doing it simply because people will put money in it, but its not like they are heckling or asking you to do it.
What bothers me is when you go somewhere and they ask you when you check out if you want to round up to the dollar to give that extra money to some type of charity. I know we are talking some change, but it adds up.. I tell them no simply because of how they go about it. They get people as they are checking out, but I don't know where that money is really going. It could be a charity where only 40% of the money goes to the actual cause. And I don't like when people ask for money. Money is used for transactions. I want something, it has a price, I pay for it. Now I understand that charities depend on people giving money, but I want to give to what charities I want to.
But a tip jar on a counter doesn't bother me because again, they are being a little more subtle asking for it. And if I get back change thats a nickle and penny for example, I will throw it in the tip jar just because there isn't ever a moment where I will need a penny and a nickel.

I have a tips jar in my cubicle. They only put 2.5 pencil lead in it, knowing all my pencils take 3.0 lead.

And since I can't start threads, I will ask in here. What's the most you ever seen in change?
My mom has saved coins since I can remember. Several years ago she was counting it all out.. I am talking about a few jars filled with coins.. She had $600 in quarters and she still had a lot not wrapped up. And it also doesn't count what she had in dimes, nickels and pennies.
That's the most coins I have seen (in terms of value) that I can remember.

Probably close to your number. When I was a kid, my Dad would have change rolling nights where he and all the kids would just roll all the spare change he'd collected over the year. He'd get pizza and a few movies to watch and we would all sits around the coffee table and just count pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters into stacks of ten and he would fill the sleeves.

Bring your coins home and put in a 5 gal water bottle.

It’s just there if you wanna drop your extra change in and the workers get a few extra bucks at the end of the day. It’s not a big deal. The stuff people here complain about never ceases to amaze me.

Circle K near Cahaba Valley on US 280 in Hoover, AL. Pull in to get gas, start the pump, walk in and grab my $.85 fountain drink. Go to pay and there is a fricking TIP jar on the counter WITH MONEY IN IT.
I have been in and around the service industry at different periods over my life, and I've never minded tipping, but I think this might be a bridge too far even for me.
I live down the street from you and I feel like I've seen this plenty before. I guess I can't recall one specific gas station but I know this isn't a new thing

I was surprised the other day when I went to pick up my clothes from the dry cleaners and the screen popped up with a tip option. WTF?

Up here in Hoover visiting family over Mardi Gras break and filled up at this exact Circle K yesterday!

Full service gas stations were great. Fill up, clean the windshield and wipers, put air in tires if needed, check fluids.
It was like having your own pit crew.
I would gladly have the wife and daughter pay extra for gas today if that service was available. I usually don't hear about an issue until it has compounded and become more costly.

right next to my office, and agree it is sad - but it is the times we are living in.
