A tip jar that says "Money is the root of all evil"? The irony is lost on me
Okay, I need to rant about this because the irony is absolutely ridiculous.
While it may come across as cute and obviously meant to be funny, it is also kind of the perfect example of how tipping has gotten so normalized that we'll literally put a joke about money being evil on a tip jar...and expect people to put money in it.
Which is it? Is money evil, or am I supposed to cleanse myself by putting some in a jar? I know it's a joke and I'm not offended by the sign itself, but makes me stop and think how out of control tipping culture has gone from tipping for exceptional service, to being expected to tip almost everywhere you go. This time, with a clever little guilt trip attached to it.
If money is the root of all evil, maybe the tip jar is the first thing that needs cleansing 🙄
