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.

They really aren't close. Serving fries/big mac is easy. At the coffee shop they make each drink individually. You order a drink, someone doesn't grab it from a rake- they do whatever they do (heat it milk, mix things, stir, top, etc whatever). There are actually international competitions for the world's top barestsa (those who makes drinks). Apparently, they think it's an art.
