   Seems like a smart move considering 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day . Hopefully they're in it for the long haul. It will be interesting to see what the marketing strategy will be.

    I'm going to take an opposing view to most comments here: 1. Yes, you should tip at a coffee shop/food truck/counter restaurant if the staff are slammed–especially so if you're the reason they are slammed. These employee
