I ignored it the first time

after I tipped the coffee barista with no acknowledgement from her.
No problem, it's a crazy time, our minds are all a bit distracted these days.
Then I tipped the same person a second time, no reaction.
I know it's only $1 on a $2 cup of coffee but that's a 50% tip for 30 seconds work poring a black coffee. If every customer tipped you $1 that would be a pretty good shift.
I'm just sayin, a simple thank you goes a long way.

I’m a server and I don’t tip baristas because they are sort of just standing around for the most part. I make coffee at my job and it’s really not hard. If they want tips they should get a serving job.
Do not...

They tip share. It's divided by all the staff.
Stop the insanity!

This attitude has become rampant. I’m never ever again going to tip anyone who isn’t actually going way above and beyond . Those tip jars are ridiculous, and the expectation of ever-increasing tip percentages is even worse. If the food service industry doesn’t change their attitude they’re going to find that a whole lot of us are fed up, and are going to stop tipping completely.

Tip a Barista, but I notice the younger the person...they almost feel embarrassed for even acknowledging it. I bartended for years and I always made eye contact and thanked everyone... makes a huge difference at the end of the day, because really no one HAS to tip you, so you should be very thankful.

This goes back to the same argument we've had before on this forum about the high expectations that "givers" set on "receivers."
Ask yourself: are you tipping in order to get an emotional reaction from your barista? Why do they owe you for a voluntary choice you made to put a couple of coins in a jar?

I haven't been anywhere that involved any kind of tipping for 10 weeks
