New Starbucks App Could Boost Barista Tips

Starbucks is out with a new mobile app that allows you to tip from your smartphone. The company says right now 10 million customers use the app, accounting for 12 percent of all transactions. The Seattle Times says Starbucks has also added a “shake to pay” feature so that when a customer shakes their phone, a barcode pops up which the barista scans to complete the transaction.
