>all these minimum wagers getting buttflustered over "customer is always right"
It is fine to push back in a real job when the customer demands something nonsensical. Like if you design bridges and your customer wants the bridge to be made out of glass and have struts that explode in a crosswind, sure, tell them no.

But if you're a starbucks "coffee artist" and someone insists that a cappuccino has whipped cream, you give them the god damm whipped cream, and you apologize for screwing up their drink.

Don't like it? Go work in the stock room at a grocery store, where you don't have to deal with the public.

When you grow up in a secure environment and haven't experienced the fear that "this meal might be your last for a long long time", you can eat like a human being. Talk while you're having a slow dinner. Maybe multiple small courses. Not worry that you'll "still be hungry after this".

If you're a poor pleb, then you need it all served in a huge fucking pile all at once, because this is what most effectively stimulates the relevant parts of your primitive animal brain. Eat it so fast you can barely breathe, and the highest praise you can give a meal is "wow I'm really full, I won't need to eat for a week lol".

No judgment here, just don't go to nice places and bitch and moan that the portions are "too small". The sight of people like you detracts from our enjoyment of the meal.

Giving poor people money rather than convoluted schemes like food subsidies where you can only eat {pick these 300 items} and not {pick these 300 items} has been proven to be more efficient in every way time and again. It's just that it's politically impossible to change over to that kind of system because when the inevitable bad apples abuse the system (as will happen with any system from soup kitchens all the way up to trillion dollar military contracts), people get a throbbing, itching, 15" vengeance boner thinking about kicking single mommies onto the street and forcing them to turn tricks to stay alive.

Set more reasonable expectations, op. You can't get into espresso on a $100 budget unless you mean buying espressos at the shop. If that's what you mean then you will have some delicious espressos.

Why do gullible millennials and baby boomers waste money on any food other than raw ingredients purchased in bulk from a store like Costco or My Local Hole In the Wall Ethnic Store?

Going to restaurants is laughable. Being pressured to tip by unemployed liberal arts majors and being pressured to order a drink containing the stench of alcohol, which is for drunks and degenerates.

I can cook better than any restaurant chef because I watched Alton Brown Seasons 1-3. Did you know about the maillards? Rice cookers are a scam for people who don't know how to cook. Bitter things are for people with mature 20something palates such as myself. If you like sweet things you are a baby and/or a middle aged soccer mom. Also the vegans keep following me around and trying to push their extreme ideas on me such as the idea that a bean won't give me butt cancer. Cast iron is more nonstick than teflon and is super easy to take care of, as long as you follow this 300 page rule book. Australians have good food and we should respect them.
