Tipping in restaurants, I'm so used to by now, it doesn't bother me anymore, where it's starting to really annoy the stuffing out of me is in Starbucks and other coffee shops. I'm just going to rant against Starbucks....
They are known to give their employees excellent benefits, hell, some even have stock options. I am pretty certain that they make at least minimum wage or more. The 50 cents change from my triple espresso doesn't affect me much, but it burns me that the tip jar is sitting there, and it's pretty much commonplace that I am expected to dump my change into it. Yes I get excellent service, they know what I order when I walk in the door and have it ready for me, but isn't that doing their job?
