Tips are great for rewarding a job well done. In this case however, since the money is split between all the workers, what would I be rewarding? If it doesn't go to the employee that did the good job, I won't be leaving any tips. And 45 days of bereavement leave for a pet gerbil? They're living in fantasy land. Unions are just legalized protection rackets.

Tips are NOT for that.

Tips are exactly for that. It's that sense of entitlement that has corrupted the whole practice.

Bet you can't wait to tip that IRS agent that does your audit.

To be clear, I abhor tipping and want nothing to do with it. Tipping has nothing to do with rewarding a good job, though, and never has been outside of some old-timey movies. It is, and always has been, a way around paying fair wages for their labor.

Here’s a tip: don’t change the subject.

I am getting a whiff of misinformation here. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers clearly doesn't expect tips in a retail store, but that is what every Apple fan site is focusing on and that has attracted the usual suspects - freedom-loving anti-communist keyboard rangers - exactly as planned. Sensationalism is how you get views.

Just put the upstream port on the back with the others, and maybe I'll consider this product. Why is literally every single one of these putting it on the front? FOR A MAC MINI?
