@2: Unionizing jobs which can already be done by anyone and also easily automated does not seem like a great use of anyone’s time and effort. Noting this doesn’t mean anyone hates baristas; we’re just wondering what picking this fight with a progressive employer will accomplish. (I’m not in any way affiliated with Starbucks; heck, I don’t even drink coffee.) Yes, one of the joys of living in a walkable, vibrant city is the interactions with the types of persons you listed. Enjoying their brief company daily does not mean agreeing with every decision they make.

@2: If it's a union shop, there should be absolutely no tipping as the unionization should negate the need for tips.
