I can understand if some unfortunate circumstances have fallen upon the owner, or a worker and they are asking for donations. I can see that and may contribute but most likely not as I'm not very quick to believe people. As far as FLGS, that's a hard pass for someone just to point to a CC machine that's going to solicit me for a tip. If they are providing a service that warrants a tip/donation, such as gaming space, terrain, minis, RPG books I think that's fair. I highly doubt most game stores are getting rich and are in any position push away customers with this practice. Last time I was at a game store was when the MM24 was released for about 30 seconds, and I probably won't be back until the new FR books are released. I don't frequent game stores anymore, haven't in probably 20 years so I don't feel a loyalty or need to support them. You'd think it would be, but I guess it's not. The only time I can remember not tipping was my very first tattoo. I got it done when I was 16-17, at a tattoo party at a friend's house. I was drunk and it was 4AM. Thinking back now I'm surprised I didn't die the instant the needle first broke the skin from every disease on the planet. What was I thinking, oh yeah, I was a stupid teenager. It was crap and I had it covered shortly after I got it.</blockquote>
