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.

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.
