The article that I read was from Jezebel, titled “Tips: Jesus Died On The Cross So Would You Tip Your Damn Barista.” It was about how our country is so focused on their 4 dollar coffees, but can’t spare change in the tip jar for the baristas behind the counter trying to make a living off of serving you a viente cafe latte. A California court ruling is now requiring that Starbucks pay 100 million dollars to its’ baristas, but the media seems to think that they don’t need to have extra cash in their pockets since the company is taking over the world with it’s outrageously overpriced grande mochas anyways. A barista really only needs to sell 2 drinks per hour to make the minimum wage at that place anyways. So is our population coming to the point of spending 4 dollars on some caffeine and not tipping, or should they tip to the people behind the counter and encourage greediness?
