would you be more likely to tip someone that worked at an expresso/hotdog stand if their tip jar was full or empty, and why?

I would be more likely if it was empty...If I see dollar bills falling out, I'd figure they don't need my money..

I don't pay attention to that. The expresso place I won't tip. It's their job and you aren't getting any service that someone else isn't getting.
The hotdog stand I tip. The guy running that mantains the quality of the dogs, the soft buns, the cold soda and clean fresh toppings. It's a job and this guy is actually waiting on you. It's similar to an outdoor restaurant. Of course they have to be pleasant and nice as well for the tip and repeat business.

I'd tip more if the jar was more full. That means they have lots of customers who are all happy and keep returning. I'd leave my change. They're working for a living after all. Secret in restaurants, those tip jars are padded. Like putting in $10 worth of bills and change at the start of the shift so it looks like they've already been tipped well. It encourages customers to leave a tip. At the end of the shift, the $10 is back in the till and the real tips are split.

Probably, just because I'd want them to go home with some tips. For tipping, I usually just take the change I get and put it into the tip jar, so long as it isn't, like, $10 in change.

No, because someone is not waiting on me at a TABLE...they are just sliding me an order...and not expending any effort to "wait" on me...and give me full service..
Putting money in a tip jar to attract people to tip you is an old custom....(we used to call it "priming the pump")...if you will notice, anywhere they want you to tip them, you'll see a tip jar with at least SOMETHING in it...in my younger days (waiting tables), it was considered "bad luck" to have the jar completely empty...ever...the thought was, once empty, never full again....
I think it's tacky when I see a tip jar at a fast food place....

I don't feel obligated to tip at those places. I drop in whatever loose change I get back from my purchase. If I pay with my debit card they don't get a tip. Just because you put a cup out, doesn't mean I am suddenly obligated to tip you.

I would want to know why they're selling expressos and hot dogs together. Wouldn't that cause problems, internally?

I never tip in a fast food place-it is not expected and most places don't allow it.
