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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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).

No kidding. I mean what do you expect people to tip you on? If you're a waiter, you gotta run around and carry my food and places back and forth and get me drinks and all the shit I want. Along with every other table you have. At a Subway? I just tell you what I want and you give it to me unless you're the "cook" too.

That is true. I sometimes freelance as a bartender and by doing this you can usually get a great deal more tips...Also when the jar gets full take the overflowing bills and place them under the counter so that the jar is 1/4 to 1/2 full. People are more inclined to make the Jar full.

agreed. maybe you should also improve the quality of service that you put out and maybe people would want to tip you. for instance: be polite and follow good hygene.

it's pathetic that you care that much about your image. you work in a subway you're not a celebrity. be proud of that, keep your chin up, and do what you have to do
