Almost 5 years without a single dent.

I guess because at a shop, they don't see that money you pay go directly into their pockets but the food sure does go down on the spot, lol.

It's the little things and depending who does that matters. At one of my old jobs, the owner liked to throw pizza parties, ice cream parties, etc. rather than give us pay increases. A lot of us were like, "f" the pizza, give us more money!

On the other hand, if a customer came in and gave us a pie or ice cream, we'd gladly accept it, lol.

Pretty much the same vibe. I appreciated when a customer gave me a cash tip. I remembered when a customer gave us food.
