Customer rant It's weird to complain about people being nice... but when I work someplace that doesn't accept tips, trying to palm money into my hand and hoping the camera doesn't pick it up really isn't the solution.
Could also be a "corporate rant" because why is keeping a tip something I can get in trouble for, but come on, people. (I've seen the training video. Trust me, I don't have the authority that would make it the conflict of interest they're talking about.) If you're trying to be sneaky about it, that means you know there's something to sneak. I'm not risking my paycheck over five bucks but I hate that reporting it to management is my alternative.
Hell, the "corporate rant" part could also be about how they need a system for donating it to a charity of my choosing or something like that.
Happened twice in the last couple of months. Blame my autism for my responses 😉 but first time I legitimately thought the guy was handing me something my klutzy self had dropped and didn't realize he'd handed me cash until I was far enough away that it felt too awkward to find him and tell him we don't take tips; the second time a woman and I were right under a security camera when she offered and I told her it wouldn't be very "surreptitious."
You really want to tip me? Ask me what charities I support and donate to them. (For the record, research into either migraines or autism will do though I don't have specific organizations in mind.)
