Maybe we should put these crackers on the other side of the tip screen so they know what its like to look at a menu board and know what not a single one of the items on it is

It's their job to explain it to you. Most baristas are pretty good at that job. They often love coffee and love talking about coffee.

Everybody behind a tip screen is doing a customer service job. It's not just taking money and giving coffee. It's a hospitality industry. Not everybody is good at it, but a properly-run shop is good at hospitality because they know it's how they make their living.

So really, just ask. I can't promise you that the person behind the counter isn't a jerk, but I suspect you'll be surprised and pleased.
