Was really shocked to go through my normal Starbucks drive thru recently and was verbally asked “are you going to leave a tip?” and they thrust the card reader in my face which starts with a $1 tip as the first option you see on the left hand side. You have to hunt for the “No”. Of course Starbucks knows their target, those that feel too embarrassed if they don’t leave a $1 tip. (I paid). I tell myself, not again. Then I was back there today and paid it again. They got me. Not again.


Jeez, are people really this spineless? I'm assuming you also get roped into paying for some random dude's mixtape outside a grocery store?


Your community may have a local coffee shop that either doesn't do these shenanigans or will deliver service worthy of a tip.


If you pay with a Starbucks card through the app, it’s just a quick scan, and it asks in the app after the fact.
