“Signers said take-home pay has taken a further hit because tipping has falling substantially amid broad customer adoption of the “Starbucks Rewards” program, which allows customers to pay with a loyalty card or mobile phones.”

Total aside from the whiners in the article, I’ve noticed more and more places going with the iPad payment device, which automatically calculates 10, 15, and 20% tips.

I think it’s a bad idea for the business and the workers. When most people tip, they estimate in their head, and add a touch if they’re not sure. Calculating the exact tip for the customer removes the doubt, and workers are far less likely to be overtipped.

That said, who tips a coffee slinger? It’s coffee!

Starbucks is just a Taco Bell that sells better Coffee and second rate finger food. I don't tip at Taco Bell who's workers most likely make much less than the Snowflakes at Starbucks. They may get 50 cents from me, change from the transaction, only then because they are begging for it with a tip jar. Meantime isn't SB paying a nice chunk of college tuition for these whiners?

NO TIPS.They demonstrated & got their $15.00 minimum wage, so live on it. Tips are for exceptional service. Other than that, no way, Jose!
