Today, I added some of my own money to the tip jar in the Subway I work at to make myself look less pathetic. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.

Today, I was at my work. To urge people to be generous, I paid my friends to put 15 bucks in the tip jar while saying how great I was. He did this about ten times throughout the day. Turns out, us employees don't get to keep the tips. FML

Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML

Today, I'm so poor that I've been scrounging around my house all day trying to find quarters and dimes so that I can buy myself a cup of coffee tomorrow. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant and only brought $14 with me to eat. I ordered and ate my meal, then went to the counter to pay for it. I threw $2 into the tip jar then got my bill. My bill was $13.86. I had to reach into the tip jar and take my $2 back so I could pay for my meal. FML

Today, while working at a chain restaurant, I forgot to charge someone a few dollars for extra toppings on the side. My stingy boss took the time to take that money out of my paycheck. FML

Today, I was so broke, I couldn't come up with enough change to pay the parking meter at my job. FML

Today, I took the time to make myself look nice just so that the pizza guy would think I had a life. FML

Today, I won $50 on the lottery. On the subway home, I checked my pocket to see if the money was still there. A very professional man in a suit yelled, "Hey, that's mine!" I got several dirty glares. I'm such a pathetic wimp that I gave him the money. FML

Today, my card got declined at Subway, so I walked to the nearest cashpoint thirty minutes away to frantically figure out how much cash I had in my card. As I went to pull my card out of my purse, it slipped from my grip and fell into the sewer. The guy behind me snorted with laughter. FML

Your reasoning behind doing it is pretty sad. But putting a dollar or two in before you start your shift usually helps people tip a little bit more on a slow night (which is why I did it when working at certain establishments).

Sadly that makes you look worse for trying to do things based on what others think of you

That's actually a good idea. When people see more cash in a tip jar, they're more inclined to tip. I've learned this method in my own place of employment

When I worked coat check I always put my own money in the jar first. I made sure to put in loonies and toonies to encourage patrons to put in similar coins in rather than smaller change. And it definitely worked. So OP I hope it worked for you.
