- and now they might have a $100M bill to pay. The "little guys" might have won this battle, but a lot more "little guys" will lose the war if Starbucks goes bankrupt.

So you think it''''s OK for the little guy to subsidize a managers pay while the big Company rakes in 672 million in profits on 9.4 billion in revenues? Come on, you can''''t want to keep a thief in business that bad.

- Way to go, Judge Patricia Cowett! Seriously! Good going! Finally---a judge with enough common sense and courage to call a ''cure dog'' cure!
Imagine---the company was dipping into employee''s tips to pay managers with! Un-frig''n-believable!
This judge had enough integrity to state the obvious---it''s wrong, and we''re not going to let you get away with it! Nice go''in, Judge Cowett! It truly has been a good friday! :) - Reply to this comment
- I say ban tips all together. It is not my job to pay someones wages, that is the employers job.

A tip actually isn''t a wage.
It''s a goodwill gesture for extra special service, talent, and/or treatment above and beyond what is already expected.
There''s no skill, talent, or extra special service in pushing a button for a living. - Reply to this comment
- I don`t eat at Mc Dees & I don`t drink coffee at Starbucks,..I make my own food & make my own coffee.
But,I DO tip people who deserve them,..when I go out. - Reply to this comment
- Why should I tip someone who just pushes a button for a living?

- In the old days when espresso/cappuccino machines were not automatic, a barista actually had to be highly-skilled in order to make a good coffee drink.
Today all they do is push a button.

- It should be company policy to not allow tipping at these businesses. Waitresses work for much less than minimum wage and deserve tips.
