What’s the point of going to the coffee shop for coffee anymore? It’s not like you talk to anyone. Might as well just make it at home.

  Change of scenery.

  From what I can observe, it's being able to say "I want a venti no whip extra hot chai with oat milk, two pumps, and a partridge in a pear tree" and someone having to make it.

    If a coffee shop needs instructions from a corporate R&D center to build human connection with its customers, something's not quite right. I wonder what metrics l they will come up with for "genuine human connection".
