I’d list my name as Maga.

Baristas are like actors. They put on a show for the consumer to make them feel like someone with special skills made that cup of coffee just for them. The “performance” and the lingo (e.g., vente, grande) give some people the feeling of a coffee buying “experience” and justifies a high priced cup of coffee in their minds.
I prefer a simple cup of coffee at a fair price without all the theatrics and the PC atmosphere.
Thanks.
I have been in Starbucks years ago, and their coffee was way overpriced, and not very good. I stood there and told her that I wanted cream, only for her to tell me that I have t make the coffee myself.
So Pay over price, for crap coffee, surrounded by elitist liberal, and snotty college kids, and then have to put the cream and sugar in myself.
I have not been back since.
