The Starbucks locations near me recently replaced their brewed coffee with on-demand coffee machines for each flavor, so I guess we are all destined to wait in the queue for coffee.

If they've pivoted to using those Wawa/7-11-style "latte" dispensers that sound like someone's blowing their nose while keeping the Starbucks pricing, I'm not surprised they're struggling and closing locations.
In our coming cyberpunk future, Starbucks will just be a brand of vending machines known for burnt coffee and LCD screens displaying scantily clad mermaids
Those are Clover machines from a company they acquired like 15 years ago. They're very good and in my opinion a big improvement over their traditional batch brew-and-store coffee. There are more roasts available to order, the coffee is guaranteed to be fresh, and most of the time they still "skip queue" and hand you your coffee at the register.

Ah, that's terrible news!
