I pour it myself and pay, same as getting a fountain drink.

7-11 has cashiers. I can't tell you about coffee shops. I prefer black coffee, it's not worth my time to stand inline while ppl order coffee with 37 ingredients to get an overpriced cup of black coffee.

No, but I do give her (my wife) a big hug and kiss before I leave home :) ** -- 1MetroHokie 09/20/2017 12:32PM

Of course ** -- MAHokie69 09/20/2017 11:55AM

No. ** -- HokieNLot11 09/20/2017 11:03AM

Yes. Often they will prepare my drink before I've even ordered. ** -- MontyPythokie 09/20/2017 10:29AM

For my bikini barista -- VaTechie 09/20/2017 10:27AM

Yes, I tell them penny stocks is the way to get rich ** -- fordham 09/20/2017 10:18AM

No tips for one-and-done services. Would you tip a vending machine? ** -- HokieNoVA 09/20/2017 10:07AM

You could get hurt trying to tip a vending machine... -- Hokie in CT 09/20/2017 11:05AM

How about a bartender that pours a tall cold draft beer? ** -- 48zip 09/20/2017 10:11AM

How is that any different? 1 beer = no tip, multiple beers = tip ** -- HokieNoVA 09/20/2017 10:41AM

I'm impressed they ever notice you trying to order that 2nd one ** -- Beerman 09/20/2017 3:20PM

Wow. How is pouring one beer any different than pouring two? -- HokieinTampa 09/20/2017 11:41AM

You're really overthinking this ** -- HokieNoVA 09/20/2017 12:40PM

You must be right. Because my head hurts at your logic. Must've whooshed by ** -- HokieinTampa 09/20/2017 4:53PM

Tips for all or just 1. That was my point. 1 beer = 1 nasty ass coffee. ** -- 48zip 09/20/2017 10:43AM

Yes, but a bartender's pay is based on tips... which they also split with -- HokieSignGuy 09/20/2017 10:24AM

...and they get a cut from the servers. But, it's one-and-done. -- 48zip 09/20/2017 10:35AM

Mic drop ** -- darnellm 09/20/2017 10:16AM

What's a barista? ** -- CPRVHokie 09/20/2017 10:04AM

I would be tipping myself, I brew coffee at home or get a cup at 7-11 ** -- Betabeachbum 09/20/2017 09:57AM

Do you tip the 7-11 store workers? ** -- hokeyhokie 09/20/2017 09:59AM

They don't pour the coffee, do they? ** -- 48zip 09/20/2017 10:10AM

I pour it myself and pay, same as getting a fountain drink. -- Betabeachbum 09/20/2017 10:49AM

Yep. That's the difference between the two. I will say.... -- 48zip 09/20/2017 10:52AM

The point is, they get PAID for pouring coffee... and their pay isn't -- HokieSignGuy 09/20/2017 10:23AM

I have no idea how they get paid. ** -- 48zip 09/20/2017 10:37AM

Some google search insight -- HokieSignGuy 09/20/2017 10:47AM

Plus tips. :) -- 48zip 09/20/2017 10:48AM
