barista

Wow. I’m in Australia and the person who gets most of my tips is a barista, anywhere

I generally empty my change in the tip jar if they have one and the service is good. I believe in tipping good service

100% agree and that's why people do give the barista a dollar or two. If your drink was $5 then 20% works out to be about a dollar, but it's different from servers who get 20% on $40. At least in the US, if you frequent somewhere, especially if you are a recognized regular, then you should tip because people will remember it.

But in the end it comes down to: FUCK YOU PAY YOUR FUCKING STAFF

[–] Knightfox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Staff are paid though? I think I'm having trouble with understanding what your specific complaint is? Are you from the US?

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If I was in the US, and I bought a coffee equivalent to what my local gives me, I’d happily tip regardless of culture or wage. The cafe down the road is insanely good, but there’s not a lot of bad coffee around here.

I would say that experiences vary greatly and there are plenty of discerning people who appreciate great coffee. Local coffee shops in the US are plentiful, but we perhaps get a bad reputation because of McDonalds and Starbucks. There is something to be said for just wanting a coffee or espresso right now quickly without too much regard for quality or price, that's where McDonalds and Starbucks reign. Personally, I never order from either because their coffee and espresso is bad IMO. Now, my local coffee joint (which is a local place that operates out of a shack with a drive through) makes great coffee and I always give them a dollar or two.
