all those people who ordered using Starbucks app and walk in hoping to see their cup ready for pickup absolutely don't care about the 'performance' or which machine was used to make it. some people just want their coffee and gtfo of there

Indeed people trust the brand. As long as it keeps tasting the way it does and meets expectations, you could have it coming out of tubes from some automated mini factory in the back and 9 out of 10 wouldn’t care. They just want their drink.

Not to make it equivalent but in Japan and other places people get their coffee from cans. All they want is a little pick me up routine in the morning or whenever.
