missbrz 0 #2 March 14, 2012 I used to be a barista so if I'm paying in cash I'll tip them or I'll clear out the change pocket in my wallet a little. But I don't feel that bad if I can't for some reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nataly 38 #4 March 14, 2012 We have already established that I'm a bitch when it comes to undeserved tipping, HOWEVER I do tip for almost any service if the person has done something extra. At a place like Starbucks, though, it seems kinda rare that they have the time and/or inclination to do much more than what is asked of them..."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #5 March 14, 2012 Almost never. But yesterday, I ran the three miles from work to Starbucks, and I left my pair of jogging shorts with the pockets at home, so I had to wear my backup shorts with no pockets. I had just enough money on my SB card (electronic scanning on my phone) to cover 2/3 of a cup of tea. I had just enough change in quarters for the other 1/3. I also left my wallet at home, so I couldn't use a credit card. I rolled up my phone in my shirt, and tucked it in my shorts so it wouldn't fall out. I rolled up the quarters in my bandana, and ran. When I got there, between the phone and quarters, I had eight cents left-over. So I threw it in the tip jar. It wasn't worth rolling up eight cents back into my bandana. The rest of the time, I don't tip. But I figure the above story qualified my as "sometimes" on your poll Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

oldwomanc6 38 #10 March 14, 2012 I don't drink coffee or do any caffeine anymore so my answer is no. However, if I did, I would probably tip, because my philosophy on tipping is: I hope that dollar (or whatever) is never worth more to me than the server. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyMarko 1 #15 March 15, 2012 At Starbucks? Fack no. I was manager/barista at a local coffee shop where we roasted our own shit and our espresso machines were manual so we had to pull every single shot ourselves, grind each shot to order, adjust the grind, pay attention to each drink, steam/foam the milk per order at the right temp, etc...now I never expected a tip, but most regulars knew what they were paying for so they tipped (we don't get benefits like Starbucks employees do)...myself and a few others knew how to do foam art and lots of people appreciated it....as a manager, I made ~$10.00 an hour so tips were just extra spending cash. Starbucks? Those dickholes push a button for a shot, steam milk til their thermometer says it's good, and put whipped cream on everything... Don't tip unless you like your drink and your barista.

JohnMitchell 14 #18 March 15, 2012 Quote I've never been inside one. Don't care. Overpriced bullshit.\ I only buy coffee when I'm traveling or occasionally out shopping. I get a big cup of drip coffee, no fancy foamy latte for me. I might throw the change in the tip jar, but I don't feel getting me a cup of coffee deserves much of a tip. I've got some friends that spend $1000+ in Starbucks. Holy Crap! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
