I ordered a black coffee from starbucks, went through the drive thru, $3 and change. I hand them my card, they ask if I would like to leave a tip… for what? For pouring a pot of coffee into a cup?

If you’re having them make you some sort of ridiculous latte you should absolutely tip. That’s more work than what bartenders do to make a drink. If it’s just a drip coffee then I wouldn’t worry about tip.

For a cup of drip, very little effort required I tip 0 to $1 but if I ever get one of those crazy things that requires all kinds of work I would tip more.

Good lord!
Tip a $1 if you feel like it. This isn’t such a huge emotional and financial decision many of you make it out to be.

Do they make the same amount per hour as waiters? No. I feel like they are trying to con people with the option to tip and I don't feel bad or care about looking like an arse if I don't tip.

What are you tipping them for? Not jumping over the counter and dumping hot coffee on you?

I don’t tip someone for doing their job. I tip people who wait on me. Yes, there’s a difference.
Not sure about CC’s, but Starbucks pays their employees very well.

I have changed my attitude about tipping. It's begun to bother me that employers are underpaying their employees and both parties expect the customer to make up the difference.
At first, this caused me to slow down with paying people just to do their jobs. Then I started thinking about it more. If I order an expensive steak, I tip more than if I get a hamburger. Why? The waiter does exactly the same thing when he brings my food. But 20% of one is a lot more than 20% of the other.
All I know is they're taking advantage of the customer and it took me a lifetime to catch on.

frick Starbucks. I like my local indie coffee shop. I want it to do well and retain good employees.

If there are more than 3 steps for them to make my drink then I will give them a tip but for something simple like a Nitro Cold Brew, naw.

if you are dumb enough to pay $7-$12 for a fricking cup of coffee then you should be tipping no less then $100 on every transaction

Absolutely not. That's like being asked to tip the chef at a Chipotle.

I always give them a tip.
Usually it's along the lines of, "Go back to school."
