This is not my experience. Watching Starbucks and my other local coffee places implement app/cashier less ordering it seems like more customers and more purchases.
Ordering on my phone while I’m the way is easier than talking with a human. And easier to add stuff on.
I’ve never considered buying an espresso machine and bypassing my local coffee place.
Similarly, I wish all fast food went cashierless. The cashier is the slowest and most error prone part of the process.
- cableshaft 5y agoI had a daily Starbucks habit before the pandemic. During the pandemic I just made pourover coffee at home with some half & half, and even now, eighteen months later and I'm doing more out in the world again, I only get Starbucks about once or twice a month. It's not like it's hard to make okay coffee, it was mainly part of me being out and about.
- prepend 5y agoSo you replacing Starbucks had nothing to do with them automating their cashiers. Rationally, we should all make coffee at home rather than spend $2-7 per day on coffee. My point was that Starbucks can help with their labor shortage by eliminating cashiers and just having a kiosk or app.
