Because it works. Our local 'decent' fast food chain (Burgerville) now asks for a tip. Even at the drive-thru window. They apologize every time and let you know you can just say no if you want. I guess it's good they feel a little uncomfortable about it, though it wasn't the worker's choice. At some point small businesses, food carts, etc, realized that if you just put a tip jar on the counter, many people will throw money in it just because it's there. It's culturally expected now. I find it slightly infuriating.
