NWR- tipping starbucks , DD

ok i know this might get some people heated and i am sorry but i have to ask because it drives me nuts.


why are you expected to tip at starbucks & DD's ?

i asked this the other day at work and was told that because they are doing a service for you, well so is wendy, tacobell, burger king, and etc and we dont tip them.

the reason i ask is bc i went to dd to get a coffee and the lady gave me a mean face bc i didnt tip her. and i am surely not cheap i just dont understand why should i tip them if i dont tip from other similar store, plus they are getting paid an hourly pay, not working on tips


PS : sorry if i offended anyone

i'm with ya. i don't get it either

I agree! Its really not necessary! We have to pay enough for the coffee as it is!

i know what you mean, but i'll throw the extra change in there cause i'm a pain they way I order my coffee

I don't tip there either, I am not tipping someone for making me a coffee.
that's their JOB , they get paid to make coffee.
you don't see a tip cup out at a deli, pizza place ect and they are providing a service, why is it ok at DnD or starbucks?

i wondered the same thing and the thing is when you dont tip themyou get a nasty face, my co worker told me i was cheap for not tipping at DD

i dont tip either - sometimes ill throw change or pennies in the cup but thats it

If I go in to DD and get a cup of coffee I usually don't tip, but if I give them 5 or more coffee orders at once I'll tip them a couple of bucks.

They have tip jars everywhere now. I think i am going to put one on my desk!

It is a NICE gesture to give the change (coin). Yes they are payed hourly.. but when some people are chatting on your phone, and mumble out
'Half caf, grande, no foam, upsided down carmel machiatto' and continue with the conversation (rudely)... the hourly wage isnt worth much.

I agree with this. If you go in with a huge order, that's different...

Its not a matter of cheap IMO or trying to be nice. I worked at a DnD when i was younger, and when i accepted that job, I accepted the hourly wage and the cranky people , and there was no such thing as a tip jar . Thats just want came the the job. same as the supermarket I worked at, i was treated like c r a p

Just like I accept myl ow salary as a social worker and get criminals who have spit in my face . It comes with the territory , and I don't expect to get tipped for it

I am so glad i am not the only one!!!!

I am sure you would feel better with a tip though!
I understand your point. But then are people who are waiters and waitress sopposed to earn their $4.60 an hour wage,, and accept their salary with no tips?
