Drip tip?
I have to aplogize to all the baristas in SF: I’m just not going to tip you anymore for a cup of drip coffee. It’s not personal, I just don’t think the act is worth it. If you exhibit a little expertise and build me a killer latte, you’ll get a very small tip, maybe 5%. It just doesn’t make sense that I pay you extra for pouring a few ounces of something that comes our of pre-measured bags. You may think I’m a jerk, but I think it’s just fair. Tipping for coffee belittles the effort made by my server at dinner who busts his/her ass for an hour keeping me and 20 other tables happy.
