Do you tip at the Starbucks drive-thru?

Absolutely during the pandemic. Before COVID, I would do so sporadically.

No, but almost always tip at the little independent spot I go to

I always round up to the nearest dollar at Sbux. My little independent neighborhood coffee shop, I give a little more.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but the fact that it's hand crafted is....your job. You're paid a wage, not like a server in a restaurant. I just don't understand this, and I regularly tip 30% at a restaurant.

+1 and I say this as a former barista. You’re paid a great wage with truly great benefits, nothing at all like a server making $2/hour.

I don’t get it either. My local bakery has a tip jar out too. I go in and grab a loaf of bread and pay. What am I expected to tip for? You sell bread. I’m buying it. The bakers get paid a wage. Everyone wants a tip for everything.

I tip a dollar like every 3rd time. My friends 17yo kid worked at one and was making $15 an hour. So they get a decent wage, but I also think they work really hard too and have to keep a lot memorized.

Exactly. I think it's honorable for these folks to show up when they could be sitting on their arses for $2000 a month or whatever it is right now.

Why are you paying cash for this? Use the app and pick up at the drive thru. You can choose to tip, or not, in the app.

Yes and you get paid a pretty decent wage to make the delicious hand crafted drinks. It’s literally your job. You get paid. I don’t understand your point?
