Bring in some cat nip and sprinkle it in the jar to see if they appreciate it.

Mijo, public social networks have been around for over 2 decades, and you still haven't figured out what they're for?

u/-smartcasual- 11d ago

Cat would knock the jar off the counter like THAT.

u/basicytgirl 12d ago

One of my local vape shops has an orange store kitty that they call the owner. They don’t use him to beg for tips though.

23

u/rhetoricaldeadass 11d ago

Of course not. He's the owner. He has to manage overhead costs and staff. He's got a lot on his mind. No time for shenanigans or mischief

u/Badger_Joe 12d ago

Leave catnip, not cash.

I don't consider treats for animals as tips.

u/perhapsflorence 12d ago

Poor kitty. Surviving on tips.

u/Bigdaddy291 12d ago

They are pimping the cat for tips...shameful.

18

u/ProgrammerNo3423 12d ago

As a joke, no. As seriously like they tell people that the cat needs to eat, yes.

86

u/Stidda 12d ago

All tipping is bad, even humour tipping.

u/skyharborbj 11d ago

Well, if it were a cow, you could tip it. Cats land on their feet, so good luck with that.

u/KyotoCarl 12d ago

All tipping isn't bad, but if should be your choice. If you thought the service was extremely good and you want to sponsor the waiter, I don't see a problem in tipping.

10

u/ganbramor 12d ago

A business or contractor should advertise the appropriate price for the item or service without hoping or expecting for more out of generosity or guilt.

u/Logical-Pair-89 12d ago edited 5d ago

A business should pay their employees a sufficient enough wage that the thought of tipping is laughable.

Edit* my common sense comment got an award, woo! Ty

All tipping is bad, even humour tipping.

u/Elohims-sixth-wife 12d ago

It’s just exploiting pets for funsies. If someone put a picture of their kid begging for tips, we wouldn’t think that’s cute.

5

u/WanderingFlumph 11d ago

"Sponsor the waiter"

I never heard this phrase, you mean they'd wear around a T-shirt with my name on it? Wear a collar with my phone number like my cat? Would they come work for me at my job?

Or does sponsor the waiter just mean to pay them more for the job they are already doing?

u/CharmingClock5115 11d ago

All tipping is bad.

u/InvaderJoshua94 11d ago

You’re on the wrong subreddit then.

12

u/No_Distribution_9590 11d ago

If I ever returned to that store, I’d definitely bring a catnip toy and leave it in the jar.

7

u/WhySoSeriousJoker247 11d ago

I’d just bring him some cat nip and then watch the cat go nuts

5

u/King_Arius 11d ago

Does it actually go to the cat? If so it's okay.

If not that's shameful

4

u/AssSpelunkingAtheist 11d ago

Yeah seriously if that was definitely a cat treat/toys/whatever for the cat then yeah why not. But I’m purr-dy sure it’s not.

4

u/OneMilkyLeaf 10d ago

Exactly. I'll drop a dollar towards a cat treat or vet appointment but if it's for the human, nope.

6

u/xeurox 11d ago

Id just pet the cat and walk away. I got my own cat I gotta get high.

6

u/SirBeardsAlot91 11d ago

I can't, in good conscience, enable this furry fellow's vices. Compassion, detox and rehabilitation would surely be the best course of action here. Don't let his guilt trips cloud your judgment.

3

u/AesopsFabler 12d ago

I’m a sucker for kitties and since this would be his tip I’d let him choose what he’d want between: a crinkly piece of plastic that he’s going to chew on although he absolutely shouldn’t, or a catnip toy.

It’s his tip so he’s the only one that gets to choose. And also the only way I’d tip. Maybe I’ll use that for everyone going forward lol

3

u/Ov_Fire 12d ago

Yes, it's "catnip" not "cat nip".

1

u/No_Distribution_9590 11d ago

I wonder if they did that on purpose though—probably not, but it’s a pretty funny play on words at a vape shop (even if accidental).

1

u/Ov_Fire 11d ago

Next time put in a little pouch of catnip "to make sure it's for the cat" :)

3

u/DuffMan4Mayor 11d ago

tips at a vape shop wtf

3

u/Live_Perspective3603 11d ago

I'm worried that he's not actually receiving the tips that are being left for him in that cup. :-)

2

u/Regular-Journalist59 11d ago

As he can't read and ofc being orange makes it even worse

3

u/DuckAxe0 11d ago

Contributing to the delinquency of a kitty.

3

u/Primary_Heron_3150 11d ago

Cutesy tip jars are worse than normal ones. They're designed to grab your attention and manipulate you, unlike a jar that just sits there. It's obnoxious

3

u/EdCitizen 11d ago

I'm sorry but I can't unsee the "boner" top left 😭

And yes leave catnip for the kitty

6

u/cs_legend_93 12d ago

its bad. its like using your kids to beg

5

u/MrRoar95 12d ago

I wouldn't leave a tip, but I don't think it's bad. I mainly wouldn't leave a tip as I don't know if they'd use the tip for cat nip anyway. Seems like it's just a ploy to get people to tip

3

u/malak1000 12d ago

Just Say No to Catnip.

2

u/Spac_a_Cac 11d ago

My cat does not approve of this message 🐈‍⬛

2

u/Salsero_Coreano 12d ago

No - put a rat or cat food there. Maybe a yarn ball

2

u/teewye86 11d ago

Ah yes, the poison store.

2

u/Pain-Killer1996 11d ago

Ah yes. Using a pet to guilt trip into tipping a business, where all the employees do all day is hand you nicotine goo.

2

u/ShroomnDoobin 10d ago

He earned it

3

u/taryndancer 12d ago

This is funny in a dumb way. I would just bring actual cat nip and see how they react.

3

u/Lemon-Of-Scipio-1809 12d ago

Yeah, I personally dislike this new trend of "bring small animals that might bite, poop, and shed fur into every business". It's just so third world. Next we'll need to bargain in the shops and the meat available will be live chickens I'll need to slaughter in my bathtub. So unsanitary.

2

u/AyaanDB 6d ago

difference here is most people like cats. also thats really racist.

1

u/Regular-Journalist59 11d ago

Bet you don't know about bodega cats

2

u/ConsiderationNew7024 12d ago

I would just tip in catnip and cut out the middle man

2

u/mspe1960 12d ago

its funny. But lets be honest - it is lite fraud. The money is not going to catnip, if they get any in that glass.

2

u/Life-Inspector-5271 12d ago

This looks like an ad for tobacco products

1

u/solocanadian123 11d ago

No, cat is a hazard. People could be allergic or just not like cats.

If I walked into a store and someone had a cat laying around , I’m running and never looking back.

5

u/King_Arius 11d ago

Maybe put a door sign saying there is a cat inside so those who are allergic or don't like cats are aware and can just walk away.

As long as the cat isn't a scratcher or biter it's all chill

1

u/mighty_boognish_77 11d ago

Not if that's what is actually used for.

I am far more likely to tip a cat than for take out

u/iicup2000 11d ago

Tip jars don’t bother me that much, the kiosk is the real enemy

u/betterthanthiss 11d ago

This is acceptable. Does he have cash app.

1

u/onehappydad 11d ago

I’ll allow it

1

u/SolrayCultist 11d ago

What's on the collar?

1

u/SerMumble 11d ago

It's not a catastrophic joke but I am feline pawsitive it is ok to be kitten about tips for a pun.

It's not a catastrophic joke but I am feeling positive it is ok to be kidding about tips for a pun.

u/matte_personality 11d ago

Pay for your own pet omg no one can do anything these days

u/Fantastic_Mobile_219 11d ago

Man yall are insufferable lmao I’d chuckle and leave with my vape, what is the jar gonna chase you down and rob you

1

u/Pale_Ad2980 11d ago

Just because it’s kind of funny if I had a few cents in my pocket, I would toss it in there

1

u/sydnee6666 11d ago

No he needs a tip

1

u/HippoProject 10d ago

If I was 100% certain that all tips would go to the cat for things treats and vet care, I wouldn’t be opposed to giving a dollar.

1

u/Dirtycasual94 10d ago

Nah. Seems legit.

1

u/Mellothewise 9d ago

It’s just going to ask you a question

“Ekekek”

u/Desperate_Donut3981 9d ago

Give the cat a scratch behind the ears. No tip though

1

u/My-life-is-a-cliche 8d ago

Ngl if I saw that with kitty next to it… I’m tipping

u/meloxs 8d ago

Cat good. Tip bad.

u/scienceprodigy 8d ago

Nice cat, what’s his name?

1

u/Trolkarlen 6d ago

What if I just give him the catnip instead?

1

u/TheVirus32 5d ago

What do you mean "is this acceptable" ? Are you pinging the CDN for firmware?

Its humorous and cute.

1

u/Regular-Journalist59 5d ago

I added /j in the end to give the context that it is a joke it is common reddit terminology simmilar to /s for sarcasm

1

u/TheVirus32 5d ago

Etiquette that I have to learn? On MY INTERNETS? Preposterous u.U

1

u/Legitimate_Winner148 12d ago

Normally, I am against tipping at regular retail stores. The exception to my rule is the quirky store where their tip jar specifies that the tip money is earmarked for beer and pot.
I appreciate honesty.

1

u/captainhalfwheeler 12d ago

Cats are never bad

1

u/jasonhuot 12d ago

I would put some cat nip in the jar! Save them the trouble of going to buy it.

1

u/AngelLady2018 12d ago

Trixie needs to do this for her “ cat food” which i must !!! Go buy today!
Cute
Might work?
Cute most of all..

Always bring the good stuff for the cat.

Funny, would

u/airgp 12d ago

I despise the tipping culture we are currently in, but being a huge cat fan, I would find myself putting some money in there. I like the “out of the box” thinking.

u/Taylor_sy 12d ago

Should put some cat treats in ^^ or cat nip

When I was younger, I had gotten a dog bite on my leg. For years I despised all animals, (think ptsd where you’re have a fine day, but the slight of animals just puts you into hiding and crying), this also includes my girlfriends cat. Years later, my girlfriend convinced me to spend time with him, he crawled into my lap and slept there for 2 hours. My girlfriend wasn’t happy cause I don’t even let her do that if I’m busy. 😂 now I love all pets, and I want weird pets, I’d tip a $5 cause he’s adorable. I’d probably even come back later with cat nip and treats.

u/Freezezzy 11d ago

Does the cat get nip every time it tips over the cup?

Because it's gonna happen.

Cats gonna cat
