Completely agree with you. I live in Canada and Mobile Order from Starbucks every morning. Sure enough every time the App comes back and says "receipt and tipping available". Who am I tipping and for what? Someone pours a coffee and leaves it on a counter with a sticker that has my name on it. I walk in, pick up my coffee with ideally no interaction with anyone and leave. Please someone, help me understand what in that sequence deserves a 'tip'??
