It's ridiculous! I'm sorry but unless you are providing me with a personal service (ie - serving my food, cutting my hair, delivering something to my home, or parking my car), I don't think you deserve my money.

That is such a pet peeve of mine as well. Every establishment does not need a tip jar.
