Coffee Shop Tipping

How much do you tip at coffee shops? I’m starting to 2nd guess what % I should tip with the increase costs.

Just a drink – a buck or two. If I’m getting breakfast to go, 15-20%.

The same amount I tip the folks at Burger King for preparing my food.

If they give me that automatic tipping thing with the ipad thingy, I press custom and ask them where the negative sign is.

I only tip for coffee at coffee stands, not at big chains. Starbucks is the McDonald’s of coffee, and I’m not tipping at McDonald’s.

McDonalds has better coffee than Starbucks.

Agree with $1/drink (not extra for refill I fill up myself)

At Panera if I’m camping out on the Sip Club free refills, $1 per hour that I’m there, maybe extra $2 per item if I get any food. Sometimes round up to a $5 so I can tip cash. But sip club has some weird rules inconsistently enforced, so I’d rather tip a little more hoping employees are more lax with those rules

The same as downtown
