A revolutionary new way to leave tips

2. Article Title

Dipjar- it's the electronic version of a tip jar.

3. Article Source 

I received this article from Gizmag.com .

4. Summary

The Dipjar is a new way for customers to leave a tip. All the customer has to do is dip their card into the slot to leave a tip. Of course, this would create extra revenue for businesses because a lot of people don't carry cash anymore.

5. Reaction

I think it's a marvelous idea. I'm actually surprised that no one has invented this sooner. I think that soon most businesses will convert from a tip jar to a Dipjar to try to create more revenue for businesses. Also I think there are some negative effects. Such as where would this product be used. I ask this question because most businesses already have an electronic tip system.

6. World Impact

In the broader scope of things I think this will drastically eradicate the little glass jars you see on counters labeled "tips", as far as how many of them you see. Instead of tips, I suppose they will be labeled"dips." I also think that this will generate more money to businesses that have never had any type of electronic tip system. But I also believe that because most companies already have an electronic tip system, some companies might not want to use them. Now I also think the Dipjar will ultimately accomplish its goal to allow more people the chance to leave tips to their favorite businesses.
