Discouraged tipping meaning?

Hi,

What is the meaning of discouraged tipping in this text?

He'd worked bagging groceries and carrying them out to customers' cars at the Purity Supreme market in Brookline. He used to put his jacket over the sign that discouraged tipping, and then he'd spray his T-shirt with water to make it looked as if he were sweating from his labor.

Thanks
