Tis the season to tip some of the regulars in one’s lives. The babysitter, the gardener, the newspaper delivery person, the dog walker, your favourite waiter/waitress at your regular breakfast/lunch/diner haunt (for us that would be Helen at White Spot), they all deserve a little something extra this time of year. These tips are well warranted, and go a long way in telling someone that what they do is greatly appreciated.
Tipping that I find a little harder to understand is some of the tip jars you can find in the oddest places. Like in take-out only spots. But the weirdest I have seen to date: a tip jar at the Lola’s Wine Store (2289 West Broadway @ Vine). I puzzled till my puzzler was sore, but I don’t get it. Does one tip if they help you find a wine? But it’s a wine store. It’s what they do. Maybe I’m missing something? Well, they’re open on the 25th and if I do have to go in that day, then, yes, maybe I will tip on that special day.
Any other odd tip jars out there?

Not at all surprised, that wine store isn’t particularly well run, the Staff are uniformed and off putting.
