Perhaps we find the writing valueless, ergo, the tip jar is obnoxious. What's less noble, keeping the bank's money, or asking for some of ours?

- kevinelliott 16y agoPeople have a right to be compensated for their effort. If you don't like it, no one forced you to tip him, and you got all that valueless writing for free. Had he charged up front, you either 1) wouldn't have paid, or 2) would have been disappointed with what you bought. Instead, he gave it away, and if you liked it he suggested a tip. No different than what I see on endless blogs on the net. If he hadn't "begged" for a tip, chances are he wouldn't have gotten any. What gets me puzzled here though, is it seems that it's OK for a company to charge for something (that may even be valueless to many, many people) and it's expected, but if an individual person suggests tipping on their "product" everyone gets their panties in a bunch. He's viewed as weak for returning the money, and annoying for asking for a tip. Oh well, being reasonable isn't always popular. If you don't want to tip, don't. But it doesn't make what he did any less noble.
- PostOnce 16y agoHe'll never make as much off of us as he would have off of keeping the money. I guess I just don't understand his thought processes. It's not like the bank cares that he gave the money back, maybe the manager would have thought about it for a day or so, but they would've written it off or collected it from the spam company. He created a losing situation for himself. I guess my question is, why would he rather have our money than the bank's? Maybe I just have a different set of morals/ethics.
