Are You Leaving Money on the Table?

摘要

The start to just about any work day begins with me walking purposefully into the local coffee shop for my first cup. Some days it's the Starbucks not too far north of my house, others it's the more local, less cookie-cutter Colectivo just south. They're different in many ways, but one similarity is that prominently displayed at each store's checkout counter is a tip jar. I like my coffee black-no cream, no sugar-just coffee. I like the people in both stores, and despite the relatively little effort it takes for them to fill my order, I almost always leave the change in the tip jar.
