I think they should tip people who work at Staples. I used to work there for a year and believe me, it gets busier than a restaurant. Try handling 1 customer who's talking to you, 1 customer who needs his fax machine from the top shelf taken down, 1 very impatient customer holding his broken cellphone, and 1 customer who's still waiting for this computer (but can't get it yet because I don't have the key to the backroom, and thus, have to wait for the manager), simultaneously all at once. And that's an average day for me.

So yeah, why didn't I get tipped back then? Seems unfair to me since I made less than a waiter/waitress.
