Funny you should mention that...(okay, it's from a year ago, but still...)

But even then I wouldn't tip all the time for service like that.
I don't consider it "cool" or "not cool" to tip. But Starbucks is one of the few exceptions I have made for fast food. I used to go to the same Starbucks across from my former office at least once per day. They always had my order ready, were friendly and generally started off my morning on the right note. At Christmas, I dropped a roll of dollar coins in the tip jar. I never let them see me do it, since I wanted them to think that it could be any of their appreciative customers.
Likewise, while I was unemployed for a year, I used to go to the same Starbucks every day. I ordered one drink but sat for a couple of hours job hunting, reading, etc. It was a peaceful escape and got me out of the house. They also got a roll of coins.
