When I walk into a coffee shop, knowing full well I am paying through the nose for a cup of coffee, I expect a certain level of service. I place my order, coffee with cream, and most of the time, I am deferred away from the counter to add my own cream. All the ingredients (coffee & half and half) are right behind the counter. I see employees spend minutes making these sugary, frozen coffee disasters, while I just want a quick shot of cream in my coffee. This bugs me to no end! If they add creamer, I tip $1, otherwise nothing. Have I lost my marbles? Why won't they just give me a shot of cream at the counter? It's automatic at all the drive throughs..

Lol this is a great rant. But I agree!

I disagree. I'm very particular about the level of cream used. I'd prefer to do it myself to get it to that perfect amount. I tip $1+ regardless.

It bugs me when people get the cheapest shit on the menu then want me to do their own cream and sugar. Want a cheaper cup, go to the gas station. Those sugary frozen drinks are $5 a pop buddy.

Leave an additional $2-3 tip and I'll drink it for you too👍

It just so happens, that the cheapest coffee tastes the best. I don't care for sugary drinks. Price is not a factor, I won't drink the expensive stuff even if it's free! I don't drink gas station and fast food coffee because it tastes like poison.

Not a big fan of drive through I assume? :p

Just stop putting milk in your coffee. Do you know where that stuff comes from? :)

I would tip a dollar, but for my small coffee, that works out to almost a 50% tip. And they're not even that friendly.

I bought a kureg. I don't deal with that crap anymore.

I prefer the organics when available, they taste better. I couldn't live without dairy, milk, cheese, ice cream.. Yum!

50% is hefty, I just don't like tipping with change. Maybe I should buy a Keurig and bring it along with my power inverter in the car. ;)

It's my pet peeve that coffee shops exist. I hate that shit. Coffee breath is horrendous

Maybe a hint of a smile. ;) Thing is, she's making the same hourly whether it's coffee or frozen sugar sludge.

The tips add about $1 an hour for me. It's the difference between 10.20 and 11.20 for me. They pay for my gas. I'm friendly to everyone unless your an asshole. Then I just make your drink and say "have a good day". Or if we're super busy and I don't have time to make conversation. I prefer the pour over method at home. But my boss just got a keureg (sp?) and she says it amazing.

At Starbucks, the tips are taxed and divided weekly among hours. So you give us a buck. I get about .05 cents of that. I appreciate all tips. It adds up. Word is, they used to make 50-60 a week on tips. Now with all the gold cards and credit cards, we're lucky to make $40. Hey, getting that every week for my has tank is good enough for me.
