Am I the only person who sees an underpaid, underinsured, entrapped worker slaving away making coffees all day as equally dystopian, if not more?
If there’s any vsaving grace for rampant automation, this is fine enough, it isn’t art, it isn’t critical decision making, it’s just coffee.
“But can it make coffee?” The answer is finally yes, why aren’t you glad?

Ok, so when is society going to start respecting those people?

Never, probably, but you and me can do better than society. (:

It may surprise you that some people actually enjoy making coffee all day, the issue is not the occupation but the compensation.

Now they get paid even less to clean and restock similar kiosks all over the city.
