If customers rate their order and interaction with the barista to be satisfactory, a bonus payment will be made to the baristas on shift.

As a customer, please just leave well enough alone. I'd really prefer to just leave a tip if I'm going to be gently shamed into leaving reviews to make sure your employees somehow get the wages they were led to believe they would earn.

I would go a bit out of my way to frequent any non-tipping coffee shop/restaurant. And I'm quite happy to pay a higher price in the menu items to reflect the fact that the business isn't shifting some of their payroll burden to me in lieu of realistic pricing.

But with his system, he gets to charge you extra and can deny staff bonuses. It's like stealing tips but more legal.
