Paul Walker passed away in a tragic car crash on Saturday, November 30. A few days later, these tip jars appeared on the counter of a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf café in Los Angeles:

Walker's friend and former co-star Jason Biggs tweeted this image along with the message:

@JasonBiggs: "Umm, am I crazy, or does this seem exploitive and in poor taste?"

Do Mstars fans agree?

FYI - "Fast and Furious" and "Varsity Blues" are among some of Walker's best-known film projects.

A spokesperson for Coffee Bean later released this statement to Gossip Cop:

This is completely inconsistent with our brand values and the jars have since been removed. Our thoughts and condolences remain with the many friends and family of Paul Walker during this difficult time.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf would like to thank Jason Biggs for bringing this matter to our attention.

Biggs and Walker starred together in the 2006 film, "Eight Below" -

Paul Walker is survived by his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow.
