      Who looks more ridiculous? The monkey that paid a stupid amount of money for a delicious treat they couldn’t have gotten at home, or the monkey that paid a stupid amount of money for someone else to peel a regular ass banana for them? It’s a pretty basic “don’t throw stones in glass houses” analogy.

        they couldn’t have gotten at home

        Pumpkin spice syrup is cheap, a milk frother is cheap.

        Better yet, you can get a cheap, low-end espresso maker/milk frother and it’ll pay for itself (vs Starbucks prices) in like, 10-20 drinks (depending on the drinks and the espresso maker).

        This is how I enjoy iced oatmilk shaken espressos of whatever flavor I want (currently almond chai) every morning without leaving the comfort of my kitchen. 😁

        Edit: that said, sometimes I do want a fancy drink I do not have the equipment, flavoring, or patience to make myself and then a coffee shop is wonderful.

      We all look like stupid monkeys no matter what you order so let people like what they like and don’t be dicks.

    Monkeys could probably made to drink coffee. It’d be easier to have them drink iced coffee, since hot drinks are further from their habits, but hot coffee might not be out of the question either with enough patience and the right conditioning.

    Monkeys could probably be made addict to caffeine. They probably shouldn’t tho.
