Bought a cup of pumpkin spiced latte at the bucks, thy had 3 tip boxes strategically placed on the counters. Is it expected to leave a tip? I don't leave one at mcdonalds so why should we at the bucks? Just a question.
I only do if they've done something extraordinary like bring my coffee to the table. Otherwise, it's just a place for change I might not want to carry...assuming I've used cash.
Tip jars are the 'wave of the future'. Just because someone takes my order and then hands me a paper bag does NOT qualify as 'service', and therefore does NOT deserve 'gratuity'.
I will NOT be 'guilted' into leaving a gratuity (tip) for someone doing their job (wait staff excluded)!
