Right, but unless I’m misunderstanding you, I don’t understand why we should be tipping bartenders but not baristas. The amount of work and skill required seems comparable (I’ve never done either so I can’t say that definitively), they’re almost the same job with different ingredients.

Sigh.

I was just trying to point out why some people might do something out of habit.

All jobs should be paid enough that tipping can just go away. Yes, both bartenders and baristas have similar skills and should get similar pay.

Ahh, that makes sense. It was the second part that threw me off.

The difference of course being that bartenders get paid barely anything and tips are expected to be the majority of their income while baristas are supposed to be paid regular wages.
