Like come on, people are otraged about the most minor stuff, but somehoe can't be bothered to boycot or change the situation with convenience pricig, where same stuff you buy at a store is 10-20x the price per unit.

"Youre taking advantage of my tiredness, making me pay more of my hard-earned money for the privilege of being too tired to prepare my own food/drinks myself, essentially making me work more hours for having worked too many hours and being tired as a resilt of it. So: making me more tired for being tired already"

I don’t think it’s matters. If you think a local coffee shop isn’t paying the minimum wage you’re dreaming. Starbucks is the McDonald’s of coffee. All fast food jobs are designed for teenagers/part-time college students. Local coffee shop sure as hell can’t afford a benefits package. Starbucks at least offers to reimburse for your four year college degree.

64% of local coffee shops close in the first five years. I’m sure it’s not because they are paying their baristas soooo well.

There is no such coffee job in America that pays a living wage, offers medical/dental/vision, and retirement. The reason for that is it isn’t a career.

The only way to not feed into that machine is to make you’re coffee at home. I’m sure you’ve never ordered anything from Amazon, or used AWS either.

Good luck with that
