Default Re: Tip jars. Your thoughts.

gas stations and fast food shouldn't have tip jars. however i think coffee shops are different and i know people who work there would argue that, too.

Coffee shops are no different than fast food. The same amount of work is involved in serving a Big Mac & Soda as a Muffin and Coffee.

I don't get very many espresso drinks, and I definitely don't tip at Fourbucks or anywhere else when they just pour a cup of coffee. However, when I do get get an espresso drink, I've had some where the milk was very nicely frothed and some where they guy pretty much just warmed it up (I'm talking lattes, which is my drink of choice).

I'm willing to part with the extra 35 cents or whatever in the former case. If they make it so the drink comes out to an exact dollar amount, well, they're out of luck...
