Would adding your own money into a tip jar ADD to people tipping more or should one keep removing the tips?

money tips
Jack Of All Trades asked:


Would it be more benefical to add your own money to make it seem as if a lot of people are tipping or would it make for more tips to leave very little in the “tip jar” and hope people feel bad and tip more?

Any experience out there with this? Looking to maximize tips in a sandwhich shop (you know, the kind that just has the glass jar out for tips).

Is there any way to get our money back from a gift card for a business that changed management?

money management

My husband and I just got a $30 gift card to a local eatery for Christmas. We went to get takeout tonight and called and the person that answered the phone said that the restaurant management changed hands and they are not taking the gift cards. Every other business that has changed hands has always accepted the old business’s gift card up to a certain time. Do we just have to **** up the loss of $30 or is there something we can do?
