Places like Starbucks, Caribou, etc.
I sure as hell don't, those people get an hourly wage that doesn't depend on tips and I'm sure they get paid more than me hourly. So they can keep putting out the Tip jar with the cute letters and such but I'm never putting a damn cent in it. |

I dont tip at a place unless they deserve it. If I have to stand in line for an hour at Starbucks for a crappy cup of coffee then they get no tips from me. But I always tip at smaller restaurants where the service is much better.

I'll normally just tip them the change back if its $2 or less, they're
getting paid to serve people so no harm came from a little gratitude.

I get paid to serve to. Every idiot who wants to know where the mayo is I have to help. Do i get tips? hell no. I'm not even aloud to take money from people who offer if i help them take their groceries to the car or whatever.
Not that I would take it anyway, I don't have to do everythign for money, its common courtesy. |

Bingo Plenti, it is their job to serve, thats what they are hired to do. Starbucks pays them X.XX an hour specifically to serve, if they don't want to serve they can quit.
And for the record Caribou Coffee > Starbucks |

I dont tip unless I hand it directly to the worker that deserves it.
Those tip jars are there for me to go fishing in when I come up a few dollars short of the bill. Also note: God does not hang out or pay any patronage to coffee shops, bookstores, or other trendy yuppie hang outs. Edited by God - 12 March 2006 at 3:02pm |

white-t spilled my Sierra Mist on herself... I left a $5 I think....

I tip the clerk at my local gas station. He is Indian [East Indian, not native American], and a really nice guy. A few times when I missed hitting $20 or $30 by a few pennies, he would just let me have it and not make me break a dollar. When I go in there every week to refill, get a newspaper, and grab a Big-Gulp, I always slip him a buck or two.

If they serve it to me at my table warm/fresh, and at a timely manner with a good attitude... then I would reconsider.

I tip if the person is really nice or something. Like at a Starbucks, if there's a fresh pot of coffee going to be coming out in like a minute and they give me a heads up that I should wait just a little bit, I'll pop a little bit of my change into the tip jar.

some areas have mandatory tipping. You don't see it until you get the check and it is called a gratuity fee. |

I have friends that work at various coffee shops. They really do depend on their tips a lot. It's hard to try to pay rent at your own apartment, go to school, and work nearly full time. I tip when I have some extra money.
