Barista tips?

I have found that the coffee shop on campus at school doesn't know how to ring up 2 shots of espresso. They just charge me what they would charge for 2 extra shots in a latte. $.50 a shots = $1 for a double shot of espresso and that's an awesome deal.
This is my problem, they have a tip jar. Do I give the guy a 20% tip on a dollar? I really don't think he deserves a tip but its such a good deal should I through in an extra $1? Any thought or suggestions on tips to the barista would be appreciated.

Just take the coffee and go! Unless that guy is putting in some kind of special effort in making it, I don't see why you have to tip. On the other hand, you could leave a dollar every few visits instead of tipping every time.

That's was my plan but on the 3rd day when I went and was going to throw a $1 in the jar it was a different guy. Do I tip the new guy or just take the shots and run?
