It is my opinion that, unless the Dunkin Donuts employee performs exceptional service, I am not obligated to tip. Etiquette does not call for tipping in counter-service situations.
However, I do find the huge tip jar to be rather obnoxious. My husband has even received comments and glares from the employees after not tipping them.
What do you think?

I don't tip the electrician in the Home Depot for his expert help in preventing me from frying myself in my home project. Therefore I do not tip someone who pours me a cup of coffee (I also find the jar annoying)

I guess you can tip anywhere.
If it is a counter-service business, I don't tip.
Restuarnts, sure, if it isn't a buffet. I don't tip at buffets, why would you, you serve yourself.
I am rather surprised they have a tip jar on the counter at a Dunkin Donuts, I don't see any at Subway, Burger King, McD, Wendy's, ...etc. And all they have is donuts.
tell your husband to watch them closely, if they are glaring at him they may spit on his donut.

I think your husband should tell the regional manager that because of some snot-nosed moronic punk teenager, not only will you never go to that store, you'll never go to Dunkin Donuts again. Tell them thanks for creating a culture that cares more about these self-important moronic twits than the customers. Tell them Crispy Creams are way better anyways. Then tell them to f*ck off.

Yes I leave a tip. I've known these people for years. They have my coffee ready when the see me coming into the door. They don't charge me full amount either.

I would say no tiping at those establishments. I've seen those in some Starbucks as well, and most of the time those people behind the counter are so rude.

I think if they want a tip they should do something to deserve it.
