Anonymous asked: An honest question about barista tipping: if I'm just getting a cup of coffee and not a complicated espresso drink, am I expected to tip?

And a follow-up question: are tips at coffee shops split among everyone working? If I do order a more complicated drink, I want to make sure my money is going to the person who made it.

I’m posting this hoping to get answers out of the baristas out there. I personally leave a dollar for plain coffee drinks, seems to be the norm for ordering a beer at a bar as well.
