I know this isn’t the point of the comic, but the barista isn’t just handing you a cup of coffee. They’re brewing it and making specialty drinks too.
The not-tipping argument really only works if you’re ordering a black coffee, but if you’re getting black coffee from Starbucks, you’re already paying way more than you should, so just tip.
Coffee makers are hella cheap if black coffee is all you want.
In the meantime though, protesting the current system by not tipping directly harms the person who is doing work you could have easily done at home yourself.
I agree that we should have livable wages as the minimum wage, but your anger is misplaced. I’m mad at the government, and have solidarity with my fellow working-class citizens. If I can’t afford to tip somewhere, I can’t afford to be a patron there, and THAT directly impacts the company instead of the workers.

By your argument, every job should get a tip then, why pay the salaries?
US corporation should start paying their employees living wages instead of them asking their employees to beg for tips to get living standards wage.
You hit it right on with the second paragraph. I wouldn’t hold my breath though. It’s just one of many lobbying efforts to keep that going in the US.

If the person working there doesn’t demand a living wages with all his co worker then should the customer ask it for them instead?
Do you mean by asking for a universal minimum wage instead of making each company’s workers fight for a living wage at each company individually?
Because yes. Obviously.
