Do you tip your barista? What about your doctor?
First wank so TIP WELL and I promise not to use the cheap lotion. You believe me, right?

After a nice exchange earlier today, I was actually beginning to have warm feelings about

seattle. Not for long.

deguisement freely admits she has already ~~wanked~~ ~~trolled~~ posted in the New Yorkers comm about tipping baristas. Surprisingly, that did not go completely swimmingly. My favorite comment was:

I'll tip my NY baristas like i do my Seattle baristas when they make drinkable fucking lattes like my Seattle baristas do.

Whee! They're off.

gomezticator and

oui_je_danse are of course involved in tl;dr threads of nothingness. Some highlights:

SO bartenders don't deserve tips either?

wouldn't know; i'm straight edge.

So a couple hours later, the OP makes another damn post. This time, she wants to know our Thoughts On Tipping McDonalds. Bonus wank on stripper morality.

You can get a plain drip coffee at Starbucks. They will ask you if you want room in the cup for cream, so be prepared for that.

The other popular drinks are lattes (espresso with steamed milk, and a bit of the foam from the milk on top) cappuccino (sort of an inverted latte, espresso with only a bit of the milk and lots of the foam) and mochas (just like a latte but with chocolate syrup. Sometimes this comes automatically with whipped cream, I can't remember if it does at Starbucks so watch out if you don't like whipped cream. Or maybe have to ask for it if you do like it, I forgot which).

The other thing a lot of people get which was only introduced a few years ago is Frappuccinos, which is a crazy milkshake blended thing in 99 flavors of the rainbow. You can get it without coffee too, in like "peach." I think.

There's a lot of other stuff on the menu like macchiatto, don't worry about those too much.

	Seems I want an espresso with milk. I like to have full fat milk in my coffee, but I like the sugar in before the milk, so it dissolves. A cup can last me over an hour; by the end, a couple of ice cubes wouldn’t go amiss. One client, the other year, gave me Bird’s Mellow. He’s very lucky I didn’t get him struck off.

	Espresso with cold milk on top of it? I'm sure they'd do it but you'd have to ask them to sweeten it for you so it melted. Everyone jokes about lol spoiled entitlement whores and their complicated drink orders, but every time I see someone actually placing an order that takes more than six words, the baristas kinda seem happy about the interesting order.

	Considering how much training they have to go through, I'm sure they appreciate not having wasted all that time. (Reply to this)(Parent)
