The Inquirer sought to verify information with coffee shops that were listed at least four times on the spreadsheet. ReAnimator Coffee confirmed the wages listed ($9.50 to $11.25 an hour). Ultimo Coffee also confirmed the rates listed ($10.25 to $13 an hour), though said that anyone who started working in 2016 should be making more than $10.25 an hour. In a statement, La Colombe said that “including tips, most baristas are earning at least $16 an hour, and often much more.” Rival Bros. said its base pay is $10 an hour and no barista is making less than that. That is consistent with 10 of 11 entries listed.
