It seems that there's a lot if anger around tipping at coffee shops. I worked at coffee shops and always appreciated the little extra we all made (tips are split between all staff members). It allowed for extra grocery money, maybe a tank of gas, etc. Coffee shop employees don't make a lot - maybe a hair more than minimum wage - and the tips are a definite help.

By the same logic we should also tip the cashiers at the grocery store, they also make minimum wage or slightly higher....[/quote]

Okay snarky :). I think there's a difference in getting a cup of coffee (personalized service, quality product, ambience) and getting groceries (necessity of the industrialized world, impersonal service). Have you worked in a service job before? Oh, and grocery store workers frequently are eligible for benefits and discounted groceries.[/quote]

PP, there is nothing snarky about it. The barista at Starbucks just pours a cup of coffee and hands it to you. Nothing more if you just get regular coffee. And this is less than what the pizza person at Whole Foods does for you: puts a piece of pizza in the oven, takes it out, puts it in a box for you and hands it to you. But nobody tips him/her...
