What use to drive me nuts is when I was working drive thru people often wanted to give me tips but I wasn't allowed to accept any by company policy which would piss off customers who felt that they deserved the right to tip me.

What annoys me is all the places in Australia putting out tip jars and such, hell no I'm not tipping you just because you made a coffee or got me a piece of cake, you earn $18-$20 an hour, that's more than I'm earning in the same industry.I am a sexy shoeless god of war!
Minus the sexy and I'm wearing shoes.

Quite frankly, those stupid tip jars at Subway, Cold Stone, Starbucks wherever, are presumptuous and rude. You don't deserve tips if you make a standard hourly wage and are not considered a tipped profession. Put that stupid jar away and quit begging.There are no stupid questions, just stupid people...

Suggestions?
That's a big part of the reason.
Now, the something nice doesn't have to be money. It could be a small gift, or baked goods, or what have you. Or a gift card. To thank them for their service.

Yeah sure I will just write a check out to my landlord for 400 "have a Good NIGHT" and 50 "drive safetly" to pay my rent next month and see how well that goes over.I'm lost without a paddle and I'm headed up sh*t creek.

A bit of kindness would be tipping the pizza boy instead of compliments, or giving the money to your kid, sending your kid with a stiff, oh, and not leaving your porch light on.
Mail carriers have much better benefits than me. I'm not giving them anything.

Yeah, I hate the tip jars with a passion, because it has jaded people to tipping where it is appropriate. Up until recently (last couple of years) most people understood that if someone other than a bell person was helping you with your luggage at a hotel, they were going above and beyond what was expected of them (and by definition more than what they were being paid for) and it would be appropriate to give a small tip... now everyone has the attitude of "oh god, yet another lazy bum expecting a handout"
Umm, no, if I were a lazy bum I'd of told you hauling luggage wasn't my job and that you could fend for yourself. I don't expect tips when I cover shifts at the hotel, but when I haven't even said anything about a tip and guests go off on me about how selfish I am expecting a tip (remember, nothing said about tipping by me) really pisses me off."I'm Gar and I'm proud" -slytovhand

I would prefer to eliminate tipping altogether, it is annoying as shit to pay a price and be expected to pay more. I like the idea of tipping when someone is going ABOVE your expectations or the norm, but considering how badly most people are getting screwed on wages I find it hard to support someone else. Also, I heard a saying before of if your making a living doing X, charge a price that you can live off of and not depend on tips. I think it Bs that delivery drivers get sub-min wage especially if they charge a delivery fee the company shouldn't basically look for people to screw over.

OH god yes that delivery fee.
They introduced that around here. The price of the pizza didn't go down and I am still expected to tip the driver but suddenly there is a delivery fee? Anyone know what that is even for?Jack Faire

The delivery fee is to encourage people to come in and pick their food up. And, in some places, some of it actually goes to the driver.
As a note, anyone earning below minimum wage who doesn't make enough in tips to bring them up to at least minimum wage is to be paid enough to bring them up to that level. How one would go about making sure that happens is not something I know, however, but would certainly be available at the local labor board.
