Topic	Do you tip on coffee at coffee shops?
ChichiriMuyo 03/30/23 7:32:29 AM #20:	colliding posted... personally I think you should tip fast food too, but it's part of their established business model to not have tips.if restaurants started putting tip lines on their receipts I'd have no problem tipping. also this depends a lot on the place. if this is a non-chain coffee shop, I want to support that place/the people who work there, so I'll probably tip a dollar or two. If it's starbucks/a big chain I'm more likely to just round up. I'd love to get rid of tipping as a practice all together and pay people living wages, but it's just not happening so until then I'm tipping Wait up here... you think a kid who gives the absolute minimum effort to give you your food/coffee and is paid minimum wage or better should be given the same (or any?!) gratuity as someone who seats you, makes you feel welcome, checks up on you, brings the food to you, checks up on you, reminds you how welcome you are (despite you probably being a pain in the ass), and is paid as little as $2.35? Barista =/= Waitstaff. That person who barely spoke to you and left your drink on a counter unattended and with someone else's name on it - they typically get 3-5 times as much in wages as waitstaff at a restaurant and they did the bare fucking minimum. They did not earn a tip for their piss-poor service. Restaurant servers work harder for less pay and that's really the only reason why they deserve tips, and the reality is they shouldn't have to "deserve" tips, they should just get paid better. And the first step to getting them paid better is telling the people who want to leach off of tipping culture to fuck off. No one, and I mean no one, who makes minimum wage should be crying about their lack of tips, or taking revenge over lack of tips, or even expecting tips at. fucking. all. Not when there are people who make $2.35 an hour and literally can't survive without tips. Tipping culture is gross, and if you tip anyone who makes minimum wage you're helping to make it worse. --- "If you ever feel good about yourself, just look on the Internet." - Ryan Reynolds <cite>ChichiriMuyo posted [p:972510983] in Do you tip...
