Gee PP, why don't you go and have a cup of coffee? Or several.

Lately the coffee place I've been going to has a display on the credit card screen to enter your tip- $1, $2, $5 or other. I hate this thing because I feel compelled to leave at least a buck. But that's almost a 50% tip on my cup of coffee!

So what do you tip at your coffee place?



Yeah, I fucking hate when that ipad displays the minimum tip as $1 on a 3.50 coffee drink. Fuck that.

I have never tipped for coffee. Would you tip for coffee at McDonalds? No. Then why tip at DD or Starbucks?

BTW (NP here) I hate when the receipt or screen shows the % of the bill because they calculate based on after tax amount; not pre-tax which is what to calculate tips on. Sorry I know that is an aside but while I was reading your post…: )

I tip nothing. Getting coffee is their job and unlike waiters, their pay is not predicated on getting tips as well.

Coffee Baristas make good money. They don't need tips.

Stop the tipping madness.

Whatever coin change I get back if I pay in cash. Nothing if I pay with a credit card. Coffee shops are not restaurants and cannot pay $2.13. It's a minimum wage job and I don't feel compelled to tip you simply for doing your job. Is there no end to this bourgeois guilt that says you have to tip everyone for every little thing? Sheesh.
