Should you tip at a coffee shop?

Seems like everywhere has the standard option to tip once you swipe your card. I rarely get coffee from cc’s or Starbucks but today I had some time to waste and went. It had me thinking for a nearly $6.16 to be exact cup of coffee should you really need to tip for that? When going out to eat I typically tip 20% so I’m not against tipping just wondering what the norm is at a coffee shop.

Why the frick are you paying that much for a cup of coffee?

What?
I had a drip coffee with a colleague 2 weeks ago at a local shop and it was $2.25. First time I've been to a coffee shop in 5+ years, but I though $2.25 was reasonable.

McDonald's has excellent coffee and a large is no where near $7. And with that McD price you can afford to give Lakisha/Jennifer a dollar tip.

Depends on the transaction and what service was provided. The cost of the coffee is irrelevant and really shouldn't factor into the decision to tip at all or how much to tip.

I don't tip at all whenever I walk in, I order at a window or a counter, and someone hands me my food or drink. If you do that, then why aren't we tipping the walmart stock boy who put the food on the shelf or whatever else.
Delivery? Sure. Restaurant service? Absolutely. To-go food? frick no.

I stop at Dunkin’ Donuts on the way to work every now and then. They have a great crew who are always working their asses off- given that most employees of places like that these days act like you’re inconveniencing them by merely placing an order, I usually throw the change in the tip jar….

Louis C K has a great bit about coffee baristas and the N word. Anyone not offended easily should check it out.

I'll give $1 if the machine asks, but it doesn't ask at Starbucks, CCs, etc. At least not if you do drive thru.

I may or may not tip for a latte or cappuccino, but there ain’t no way I’m tipping someone for a pour over coffee.

both of my kids work at Starbucks. all tips they receive are equally distributed with all employees based on the hours they worked
i think they told me at one time that the tips money they receive averages just under a $1 for every hour they work.

Oh look, this thread again. 
You cheapskates sure are proud of flaunting how cheap you are.

If you go there often then tipping would be a good idea. I agree that tipping is getting out of control, but I am making sure I get taken care of at places I frequent

You may as well buy a fancy machine for your house to make fancy coffee drinks. It'll pay for itself really quickly considering you're spending 7 bucks a day on a grande mocha

If you order something that is over 3 words or requires special instructions, tip.

Every restaurant, coffee shop, fast food place that has a tablet also has a “question on the screen for you answer.” We all know.

I go to my local coffee shop every day.
I've never tipped.
I think they are getting enough from me already
