Can we talk about that 'donation' jar at the cafe on Main Street

I was at The Daily Grind yesterday and noticed their tip jar says 'all proceeds go to local shelters,' but my friend who used to work there told me the owner just pockets 80% of it, so how do we even check if these small businesses are being honest with their charity jars without coming off like a suspicious jerk?

I mean, honestly, the "all proceeds go to local shelters" thing could just be a generic jar they bought at a store, right? If your friend really saw the owner pocketing that cash, then maybe she's just bitter about getting fired or something... People love to stir up drama over nothing. Unless you're willing to camp out with a ledger, there's no real way to prove it either way.

That jar looks exactly like the ones at my dentist office too.
