Tip Jar Conundrum

seriously though for like two years in this neighborhood, every time I go to the 24/7 CVS for anything beyond a pack of camels, I buy a box of chocolates and give it to the staff. and I still haven't figured out whether that's patronizing or nice or what. in fact, fuck our society right in the ear for making me have to think about that, but I might as well ask the question

What kind of chocolates do you buy them?

Back when I worked in retail, you had to have a receipt attached to any item that you purchased for consumption in the store, so you might end up getting them in trouble.

But probably they think you're a good person. Folks appreciate having a regular who stands out and is nice to them.
