Barista Exchange

the world's premiere online community for the specialty coffee industry

Alright so forgive me if this topic has already been started but, what are the three weirdest/coolest things someone has dropped into your tip cup? For me it was

1.Chuck E Cheese token
2.$100
3. A small coin shaped piece of metal which had the outline of an angel on top. Above the angel it said "a guardian angel, sent to watch over you"

We once had a note explaining why they couldn't leave us a tip. It was signed "poor college students."

an 1879 dollar coin
origami
a 5 cent piece from the Bahamas
guitar picks and bus passes out of the pockets of two regular highschoolers...every day
dollar bills with the names of the employees of the pizza shop next door written on them

At the shop i worked at in MN a guy from the bank would pay only in $2 and dollar coins saying that the bank system wanted them in the currency system.

I have received home baked cookies, movie tickets, pez dispensers, chocolates, cigarettes, green tips, and much more. I think we as baristas get the best tips because we play such a big role in people's everyday life. How would they get their day going without coffee?

This machine was operating in a upscale restaurant, but was too much machine for the demand, so I bought it for next to nothing. I'll check into its age.
