Sorry to offend the mentally challenged, but that's just the way that I insult people. If these people are doing more than just pouring coffee, and they are worthy of being tipped, then reduce their hourly pay to that of a server, and let them come around to every table and take orders. If they are making minimum wage, then they shouldn't be getting tips. Ask any server in a restaurant if they make minimum wage and I'd be willing to bet that 9 out of 10 will say hell no (probably 10 out of 10).

I understand that point. Sorry for getting all bent out of shape, that word is just something I take a little personally. It is so common in our society to use it as an insult, that I don't even think most people give a lot of thought to the true meaning of the word.

Wow, dude, calm down a bit. I'm actually a taxidermist, and I love my work too. I was just trying to point out society's rules for tipping or not tipping certain groups of people that basically do the same job. So, I insult your profession a little, that's just the way that it goes. PETA doesn't think too highly of what I do, but do you think I give a rat's azz (pardon the pun)?

Mr Pink, you have the upper hand on this one..you're too cute.

get a grip. autistic kids are different, but we love them. Autism means challenged.
Retarded does not mean autistic. Retarded means you can ask me to pay six dollars for a coffee drink and you can say it with a straight face. Retarded means you expect a tip for the ridiculous coffee concoction with the Italian name because the English language refuses to dignify its existance. Retarded means you're in your 30s, you have a college degree, and you still work food service.
I have friends that work at Starbucks. I have to pay their way when we go out because they're perpetually broke. That's retarded.

you talk down on your friends that work at starbucks? why the hell are they friends with you. and why is it "retarded" for someone with a degree to work in foodservice? not all foodservice workers are perpetually broke. some make quite a good living. someone tells you that they are offended with you using a certain term, and you feel the need to slam people? get a life!

If that is your definition, then you would have to be as retarded as the person who charges you $6 for a cup of coffee once you reach into your pocket to pay the bill. Starbuck was successful for a long time for good reason. And it wasn't because of the so called "retards" working there.

I wouldn't go there if I was you, especially after what they caught that pervert doing in the beverages. It's your money, spend it wisely.

What can I say? It's an addiction that's hard to break. Plus I was single at the time and the Starbucks girls sure do put out. But now I'm spoken for so I make my own coffee at home.

Okay, I can't even argue when you make a funny like that. I guess it is just as bad as a cigarette addiction (not that I have one). In NY, cigs easily went for about $6 a pack 2 years ago and I used to see people plop down nickels and pennies on the counter to pay for it. I like a good latte myself, but I got myself an expresso machine and learned to make it all at home. That machine has paid for itself ten times over by now. I hope they close enough Starbucks for me to break into the business.I can set up a drive thru on the side of my house. Lattes by Bohemian...
