    You can tell the difference between “Just doing your job” and “Going above and beyond”. If I know what I want and they just pour coffee in a cup, I’m probably not tipping, or maybe I’ll round up. If I have a ton of questions and need help deciding, I’ll probably throw them a dollar or two, depending on how complicated I make things.

    My whole point is if the coffee is like $3, 25-50% is 75¢-$1.50, which is perfectly reasonable for someone who did go above and beyond. I can even see 100% if they were exceptionally fantastic, like that one you had a year or so back. If the coffee is $8, gtfo out of here with those percentages.

      fully agree. Percentage based tipping has never made much sense to me, like the same amount of work doesn’t change based off the menu prices
