I tip my barista 20%, but they also just make my drink when I walk in and by the time I pay, it's waiting for me to walk out with. A relationship forged over years is well worth an extra quarter a day.

Where do you live where coffee is that cheap? $1.25?

Today my latte cost $6+ and I tipped $2 for it. Walked away wondering how the hell it got so expensive :/ (normally I just make them at home, but was lazy this morning)

I was referring to the 5% over 15% being a quarter. My latte is roughly $5 and I tip about $1.
