Servers should stop considering the change as a tip until or unless it is told by the customer.
A lot of people are placing their orders online which means fewer tips for the baristas. Starbucks has considered this problem and trying to solve it by launching a digital tipping option. A TikToker, Lily Kate Holbert, recently went to Starbucks and when she paid, the barista dropped the change in her tip jar which was awkward for her as she always gets Starbucks and no one does that to her. She is one of those people who collect the change and turn the money into cash but this barista left this TikToker in shock. She shared this story on TikTok and people had a lot to say about the tipping culture. Scroll down to give it a read.

The barista shouldn’t have dropped the change in the tipping jar because the customer didn’t tell her to keep it. Also, OP should have told the barista right away to give the change back. And if she was not willing to give it back to her, she should have just reached in and grabbed her change.
12. Some baristas are kind to give the change back to the customers.
