a few years ago I used to balk at this with my friends and family: “would you tip at McDonald’s? Starbucks is fast-food.”
but I have since been to a McDonald’s with an in-use tip jar. so, I guess they would.
tipping a local establishment feels like supporting local workers and businesses. tipping underpaid major corporation workers is being co-opted into a business’ payroll cost mitigation scheme.
