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]

But would you tip for a cup of coffee at places like McDonalds or Dunkin Donuts?  I don't typically hang out at Starbucks to enjoy the "ambiance"- typically grab 'n go.[/quote]
