Today, when you go to lunch, pay with cash. And put the spare change in the tip or donation jar at the counter. Most quick eats places have either or both. The contents of tip jars at places like Starbucks and Marble Slab wind up in the pockets of the students and dreamers who work behind the counter.
Panera Bread offers tasty bread and soups and has their Dough-Nation jars that ensure all donated coins stay in the local community. Use cash instead of plastic to make a difference and say thank you to those who clean your tables.
