that’s when you say stuff like “I went by Jerome, but not since the storm”

Panera has a kiosk so you can skip the human interaction.
I was just in 7-11 the other day and the girl working in there appeared to be having a much better day than I was. And thinking back, I was pretty happy back when I made donuts for not much more than min wage 35+ years ago. Of course I was stoned 24/7, but happy.

Never been to either place, but this would annoy me quite a bit.
Literally stopped going to my local Starbucks because their rehearsed shit was so annoying.
You can use the app to order your drink and then just pick it up. No human interaction necessary.
My local Starbucks simply turns off mobile ordering when busy, which is close to always.

During the morning surge hour of 8:15-9:15 almost every Starbucks turns off online ordering in Boston. It’s absolute chaos for them, I’d hate my job if I had people waiting 20 minutes for coffee every morning getting mad

This. Learn to drink unsweetened iced tea that you keep at home. I drive by a Dunkin’ Donuts every day with like a 30 minute car line on the way to work. I don’t fucking get it. Those people could all sleep 30 minutes later each morning and wouldn’t need the fucking coffee to begin with if they did. And they’d save a lot of money!

A lot of my friends were way happier when they were working at movie theaters and broke than having real jobs making real money now.

I’m sure there’s a Forbes article on how a recent college grad managed to pay off all of their loans and buy a house by giving up Starbucks*.
*Also has rich parents that paid for their school and gave them a $100k down payment gift and a $150k/yr job at dads business.

Agree! Espresso, on the other hand, hits the spot. I just got a machine and am embracing the espresso lifestyle.
I used to drink a French press of coffee in the morning, and a cup of tea in the afternoon.
At the start of the pandemic, I dropped down to a cup of black tea in the morning and sometimes a cup of green tea a few hours later. I don’t miss the extra caffeine.
