In reply to the discussion: NY high court eyes who can tap Starbucks' tip jars [View all]Posteritatis
(18,807 posts)19. I see jars named for the various staff in the places I go to around here
I don't necessarily know who the staff happen to be, but I pick that up if I become a regular someplace.
Voting jars is another thing - a pair with the daily option ("apples or oranges?" sorts of things usually, but I was tickled at "fairy or faerie?" at one last week). I'm not sure how those ones are divided, but there's almost always only two staff on at the places that have them.
