Nobody stops long enough to take anything...they just run the hell out, and it makes a pretty loud noise if someone tries it. It works really well. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-13196 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 21:24:24 +0000 she hates me 13196@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Had a customer in the D/T that ordered her normal drink and paid for it in change NBD, but all of our bills were missing from the tip jar after she left, If you need diapers for the three younen's in your car, don't stop at the bux. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-13183 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 19:12:22 +0000 Omg 13183@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>@JSN: The deal is is that there's like two, and they're teenagers, and they RUN away right the **** after, and while the mall cops like us, the regular cops will just give us a funny look. "Are you REALLY reporting THIS?" sort of thing.<br /> The Mallies can't do anything (as I recall) without someone committing a felony in their sight. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-13180 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:50:33 +0000 coffee247 13180@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I know I was just as shocked, but to be honest he probably put on the suit and tie to look less obvious. No one would suspect a man dressed nice to come in and steal. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-13178 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:47:24 +0000 DARKROAST 13178@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>That's just sick! Now the SUITS are robbing us! at first I found it amusing that the Neckties that used to snub us are now asking when the next job fair is--after hearing coffee247's story, now I'm downright disgusted! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-13175 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:41:53 +0000 Perfectionist 13175@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>What an ****.

Then when they went away he put the jar in his brief case that was up on the counter. I dont know how he did it without anyone noticing because we velcro our tip jar to the counter. But when we reviewed the security tapes that is what happened and he hit 5 other stores in the area. He was dressed in a suit and tie and had a brief case. What a jerk! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-13169 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:26:26 +0000 Just_Say_No 13169@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>A few cents is not worth reporting, but if they consistently take whole dollars out... </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-13168 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:25:12 +0000 Just_Say_No 13168@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>You could report them to the police... </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-13164 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:48:06 +0000 Omg 13164@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>****, we have people just TAKING money out of ours. Literally, there's a couple people that if you take your eye off them for a heart beat, you're now short every dollar bill in the jar. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-13149 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:41:40 +0000 spike 13149@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I think I have had two people try to taking pennies out of the tip jar. Yes it seems petty but I told them straight up "thats a tip jar." It seems like some of these people are retarded. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-13139 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:19:02 +0000 CustomersSuckAtSbux 13139@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>You're actually not allowed to write on the tip boxes. We tried that once, and our DM didn't like it :(</p> <p>But I can totally feel you on people taking from the tip jar. We tell people the same thing - you're stealing from us! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-12998 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 23:35:59 +0000 CoffeeAsswipe 12998@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>That's not fair; I thought only the US Government was allowed to steal money from people. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-12997 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 23:15:40 +0000 she hates me 12997@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I tell them they are stealing from 15 employee's including me, it usually clears it up. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-12962 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:00:56 +0000 DARKROAST 12962@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Haha! With a wooden spoon?<br /> Crazy enough, we're told out here that we CANNOT write "TIPS" on our lil' box because it looks bad!<br /> When **** customers stick their hands in that tip jar to get a bit of change, I simply tell them that it's not my money to give away-we share our tips, so they'll have to ask everyone working if it's ok! Which it never is, of course! Usually the customer says "nevermind" and breaks the biil anyways.<br /> The nerve of some people! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-12960 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 10:08:38 +0000 becca001 12960@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I'd smack their grubby little hands. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-12959 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:32:54 +0000 theoneyoulovetohatexo 12959@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>yeah, that's why the jar is full of dollars, quarters, dimes, whatever! </p> <p>to them it's more like "a penny, take five dollars" jar. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-12950 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 00:51:28 +0000 coffee247 12950@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Yeah if you give everyone that did not have exact change a quarter at the end of the day you would be out of tips. I had one guy that actually said "oh I thought it was like one of those take a penny leave a penny jars at seven eleven". </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-12949 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 00:24:52 +0000 Just_Say_No 12949@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>The thing is, some of them you know that they know better, and you know that they know full well it is a tip jar, even without the sign... those are the ones that do it without asking and have to be told off...</p> <p>**** douchenozzles. </p> <p>Decaf for life! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-12948 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 00:06:10 +0000 theoneyoulovetohatexo 12948@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>i totally just said that in the "cheap customer" post.. and i TOTALLY agree with you! i think most partners will. </p> <p>i don't understand -- if you don't have enough money.. order a smaller size, don't get the extra pastry, or don't get anything at all and save your money!</p> <p>..i especially hate when the customer tries to fight you because you won't let them take out a quarter to pay for their drink. i've actually had a customer get nasty with me because i wouldn't let him. and i remember another customer thought they jar full of dollars/quarters/dimes/whatever was a "give a penny, take a penny" jar. yettt.. he just wanted to take, not give any back! cheap bastards.</p> <p>and if you are going to steal our hard earned tips because you don't want to break a bigger bill -- just remember you are trusting your drink in the hands of the people you are stealing from. decaf spit latte for you! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-12947 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 00:01:27 +0000 Perfectionist 12947@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Do you write tips on the front of the jar? You should, it clears those types of things up (and improves tips). Sometimes people joke and ask if they can take a dollar out of there, never had anyone do it for real though. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=981#post-12946 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 23:58:29 +0000 Just_Say_No 12946@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>because they didn't feel like "breaking a larger bill". </p> <p>Sometimes I don't feel like telling them off it is a couple cents, if they ask if they can I tell them no. If they just take it, often I will tell them to put it back, and that it's not their money. </p> <p>Sometimes I just don't bother, cause I don't want to deal with it, but it really pisses me off, I don't care if it is just a few cents...</p> <p>Do you go to the restaurant and grab tips off an empty ubussed table because you don't feel like breaking a higher bill? Makes me want to snap customer necks. </p> <p>And the ones who do it are in club decaf, funny how some of the ones who try to cheat us with the "doppio macchiato with a cup of foam ****" are the same people who steal from the tip jar because they don't want to "break a five" **** THEM.</p> <p>I hate people. </p>
