Do baristas care if you tip? The general consensus seemed to be that while baristas almost always make a mental note of whether customers tipped or not, they are only really bothered by a lack of tip when the order is complicated, and they had to go above and beyond.

Why did Starbucks start tipping?
Early in the effort to unionize, organizers called for better pay and more input into how stores are run. They also wanted a better tipping option. “One of the first public demands that we made last fall, when our campaign launched, was for credit card tipping,” the Starbucks Workers United said in a statement to CNN.
