Gendered Coffee in Boston?

Abstract:

...We provide evidence from a field study of wait times in Boston-area coffee shops that suggests that female customers wait an average of 20 seconds longer for their orders than do male customers even when controlling for gender differences in orders. We find that this differential in wait times is inverse to the proportion of employees whore are female and directly related to how busy the coffee shop is at the time of the order. The supports the conclusion that the observed differential is driven at least in part by employee animus and/or statistical discrimination rather than unobserved heterogeneity in the purchasing behavior of female customers."

Or, MFT's 1st suggestion: maybe the male coffee shop baristas are mostly gay, and perhaps are likely to snub women over men.

Or, MFT's 2nd suggestion: maybe the male coffee shop baristas are hetero, and simply keeping the women around for another 20 seconds -- you know, to make sure they are properly serviced.

Unauthorized conclusions: 1) Go pour yourself another cup. 2) And don't forget the chocolate...

Starbucks, the matrix of coffee

I refuse to tip at Starbucks as -- according to this article -- I typically order the most boring drink of all time (symbolic of my personality): coffee. I'm not tipping some over-caffeinated idiot who pulls a lever, and then hands me the cup of coffee. I'd think about it if they came to my table to take my order. Otherwise, they can right piss off.

And oh: good article.
