$tarbuck$
I just don't get
$tarbuck$. Let's put aside the fact that people plunk down $4 or more for a cup of coffee. I eat
entire meals that cost less than that. They had the audacity to name the establishment Star
BUCKS. But, as I said, let's put that aside for now. I have another gripe.
Apparently, $4 for the coffee doesn't allow them to pay their help very well, because the drive thru has a tip jar.
A tip jar! At the drive thru?!? Come on. Just because your speaker actually works and you speak clearly when repeating my order correctly, don't think you're getting a tip from me. I mean, everyone knows that the drive thru was not created with your best interests in mind. Bad, bad
things happen at the drive thru. Just because things work as they should, that's no reason for a tip. You barely moved your feet at all, you just leaned a little out the window to hand me change and a cup. That's it.
Alas, these tip jars are not empty. Surely the smart worker put some "seed money" in to get things started, but I have to believe that some customers actually leave tips. I would like to kindly request that these customers who choose to freely give away money for no real reason at all please forward it to me. If you feel the need to pay extra above the $4 you already spent for a cup of coffee just because someone handed it to you thru a window while you remained in your car, you might want to seek mental help, or at least financial counseling. If you don't agree, be aware that I also
accept PayPal and credit cards. I can put it to good use. I have kids that will go to college one day and your "tips" can help.
I don't drink coffee. Never have. Probably never will. I tried what I'm sure must have been very bad coffee many, many years ago and didn't like it. I've never felt the need to try it again. I suppose I'm much richer for it. I only saw the tip jar while visiting the drive-thru from the passenger side of the vehicle. I did manage to hold back my laughter.
