The general rule for tipping is tip for things you wouldn't want to make yourself.

The rule for tipping is that you always tip people who make tipping wages which are less than minimum wage, and you may choose to tip anyone for exceptional service.

Baristas do not make tipping wages, so there is no obligation to provide a tip. If I ask for something complicated or they remake my drink so I like it more, I'll leave a tip, but if someone makes what I ask for and hands it to me, I'm not tipping.

I just go to fucking McDonald's for my coffee anyway. Why the fuck pay Starbucks prices for shit coffee when you can pay McDonald's prices for slightly less shit coffee.

Yea. I agree. I only drink filtered water. So I stay away from anything using tap.

It's not even tap. Starbucks coffee is this bitter as fuck acid that people only drink because they hide the taste with sugar. It's disgusting. McDonald's coffee is just normal tier shit coffee. Drinkable and not gonna complain for the price.

All these people are like "straight coffee eww" drink a coke if you want something sweet.

Starbucks try to base their coffee on what is drunk as espresso in Italy.

Unfortunately their employees with an overly romantic view of the old world don't realise the Italians have been in a race to the bottom in terms of price and quality for around 20 years.

Espresso is nice but usually takes the form of a thimbleful shot of coffee and not the American big gulp size. Might as well drink raw sewage at that point.

Yea. Starbucks coffee is not great. I agree.

But coffee is delicious. Just black coffeex

People who have shitty jobs always want tips. I can't blame them, but I also can't care.

The shittiest jobs don't get tips.

You're right, but I didn't say it can't get worse. I said I can't care.
