Unbelievable though it may be, there is no Starbucks on my way to work anymore, so I havan't been to one in over three weeks. I don't really miss it, except for the part where I have to be awake enough to make my own coffee.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

Yeah, tipping for coffee is no longer a worry of mine, as I have begun making my own as a cost-saving measure.
And upon reflection, I realized that starving would be No Good, so I bopped down the street and spent a couple of bucks on some bao. Tasty! Cheap!

I tip for table service and deliveries, but tipping for handing me my order at the counter would be like tipping grocery store clerks for letting me buy food. It's my line in the sand.

Last week I got a latte from the Starbucks lite in the student center and then a breakfast sandwich from the cafeteria - the clerk told me that he'd heard that Starbucks was going out of business.
I wonder if he was referring to that all-Starbucks retraining thing that they did the other week?

I've tipped at a counter, from time to time, but it comes down to this -- if your income relies on getting tips, you can expect them. Otherwise, they're a lovely but unreliable bonus. I don't tip the cooks at a restaurant -- not because they're not doing great work for me, but because that's not the way their pay is set up.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
the money savings from the free coffee at work is the easiest savign money I have ever done. It helps that they have flavored coffee and always have milk. I wasn't even a Starbuck's person and I am saving close to $10/week min.
I think I am getting a baked potato only because it is closest.
