I know I know-- too many tipping threads. But I'm not asking what you think about tipping. I just want to know:
Do you tip at Starbucks? And please share if you order via app or at the register, and whether you consume on premises, and if that impacts your decision. Thanks! |

| I pay cash and put the remaining coins in the cup. |

| Yes. Through the app. In turn, they put stickers on my cup. |

The baristas have no clue who tips through the app |

| No, either on app or at counter. |

No.
I've started paying with cash so I don't get the tip screen. |

| Nope. |

Do you know this for sure? OP here. This was a question I had. I have never in my life tipped at Starbucks and it's so ingrained that even though I am a tipper generally, it just never occurred to me. But they added a tip line on the app and even a little prompt that reminds you "Ok at to pay $$ plus $0 for tip" and I suddenly felt guilty about it! I pay for 90% of Starbuck orders with gift cards someone else gave me or with points I earned through the app, so obviously I could tip. And I'm not opposed to it, exactly. I just had come to think of Starbucks as like McDonalds, just a place where tipping doesn't cross my mind. And I'm wondering if I should adjust that idea. |

Weird. I only get the stickers when I tip, and I go to the same Starbucks every week. |

No, I usually order through the app so it's easy not to and to be honest I don't feel guilty about it the way I would if i was ordering in person.
I work in a hospital and we have a quasi Starbucks where they make certain Starbucks drinks but it's the regular cafeteria employees and you can't use the app - there is no tip option and I do appreciate that (the cafeteria workers are unionized and have benefits - I would rather coffee shops do this and pay their employees better rather than forcing them to rely on tips). |

Absolutely!
No, just kidding, I don't even go to Starbucks because I don't drink coffee or any other Starbucks drink. If I get a gift card I either give it to someone else or go there and buy some breakfast items with it. But if I did go to Starbucks I would tip, probably a dollar. My philosophy is if I can afford $6 for a drink I can also afford a $1 tip. |
