Starbucks charges $6 for a cup of coffee and pays workers $15 per hour for a job any high school dropout can easily do.......BUT, then has the gall to put a damn tip jar at the check out counter....Star Bucks can Kiss My Backside.

A 12oz cup of coffee at Starbucks costs $1.95. I just bought one.

Dunkin Donuts has the tip jars too. I escape that by using their mobile apps to pay. I just scan my phone and I’m out of there. Starbucks has a pop up on their app letting you tip but I just close it.

I don’t mind tipping at a sit down restaurant but being expected to tip at the counter for a cup of coffee is ridiculous. Especially when you have to stand in line behind giggling teen age girls who have extremely complicated instructions to make their $7 concoction. Is this like a game among them? Seeing who can order the most complicated drink?

I just order black coffee.

Those things bug me to no end. You are standing in line to be waited on. You bus your own food, drink, cone or whatever. In some cases, you are even paying top dollar for it because of location or whatever.

It makes less sense than putting a tip jar at the grocery store check-out line.

“Starbucks charges $6 for a cup of coffee”

And they talk about Starbucks as if it drives our economy. Give me Dunkin Donuts any day.

I bet you didn’t know that the free market enables you to shop elsewhere.

Their coffee is garbage, tastes like it is burned. I wouldn’t drink that stuff again if it was free. If I go there to meet someone, I might get water or one of the cold drinks...but no tips.
