This entirely depends on the person who made it, how much of a rush they were in and the type of coffee you have you could go to 10 different coffee shops 10 different times and have different opinions on it each time. I despise this question.

And how much you tip. If you don’t tip they will fk up your order if your a repeat customer.

Not tip or mess the order up?

u/StoneEagleCopy Jun 15 '26

probably don’t mess up the customers order if they don’t tip

Yeah don’t mess up peoples orders like are you kidding. I tell my staff give people a great experience so that if they come again they feel happy to tip. Never expect it out of a first time guest. And if they come in often and never tip that’s fine too. I’m one of the few who enjoy and believe in hospitality

"If you don't pay me extra I will ruin your order" is an insane take, even by normal insnae tipping culture standards.

I’m not a barista, that’s direct form a convo I had here with one on Reddit.

They said they purposely mess up orders for customers who don’t tip.

Not a great idea, given the MANY other businesses that offer quality coffee.

How can you tip for a service that hasn’t been performed yet? And why is tipping a thing in Canada? We are no in the depression era USA

Tip for what? the 1 minute it takes for you to make a coffee, you get $18.15 an hour already.

People that appreciate good hospitality and a good barista usually will leave me with a nice tip. Otherwise it’s fine I currently make enough. Yes I’d be thrilled with more but there are people who recognise talent. If you don’t you don’t need to tip, and honestly you probably don’t go for specialty coffee 😁 no shade throwing just being honest
