But then again, I did get fired from Starbucks as a teen.

You can still be competent at a shit job. But yes, if you pay shit pay you get what you paid for. We absolutely agree that it's not the person behind the counter's fault. They're trying to get through a shift, not craft the perfect coffee order to your exacting standards. They can't even control the grind or pull or steam temp on the new machines. You're better off going to a fucking vending machine.
