Paying for a quick meal or drink with a debit or credit card is convenient for customer , but the lack of physical currency means there ’s a less of a prospect of waitstaff or baristas get a tip . At least until the tests of theDipJar digital tip jarare take for successful and it becomes wide available .
It ’s design to await and officiate like the tip jar you ’d usually observe next to a hard cash cash register . But instead of sink in a few coins or low handbill , client just insert and murder their credit card . Each DipJar unit of measurement is programmed with a pre - determined transaction amount , which so far has been around a dollar sign . So if a client wanted to leave more than that , they ’d just have to swipe their credit card a couple of time . At the here and now the party promises that on a one dollar bill tip 80 cents will make it back to the intended recipient , but they hope to advertize that to 90 centime and higher as the gadget becomes more widespread .
