Probably even your neighbors in the trailer park would have problems supporting their family on $17/hr. We could debate the merits of capitalism and wether the fruits of a workers labor should afford a life of luxury for the likes of Brian niccol while the worker themself struggles until the cows come home (spoiler alert: I don't think so), but all that aside $17/HR is a very reasonable ask.
For what they charge for coffee im sure they could a bit more.
Just use UPS as an example. When they are paying more than they are willing to, they cut back on staffing and hours.
Everyone has career choices. We are just fortunate that we had a union and a company tgst made enough to pay those wages.
I don't drink coffee. I'm definitely going and getting a lemonade at my local unionized shore when they finally get a contract and telling them congratulations.
I helped walk a couple of picket lines
A few years ago. One of the stores that signed cards was closed by the company…. shocker.
I don’t think the coffee is anything special. And I sure as hell I’m not paying six bucks for a cup of coffee. Too much of a cheap ass to even consider it.

Yeah, fuck that. I hardly ever buy coffee from a shop. The coffee I buy for home is expensive enough, and better.

I bought my girlfriend a banana bread latte a week or two ago.
Ended up finishing it for her, holy hell that was bad.
All the banana aftertaste, and like nothing else.
And don’t even get me started on their Americanos.
As much as they can negotiate for. That coffee is pure profit. Blows my mind when I have walked in there and see the price of things, and the people that lineup to just fork it over every day.
You’d be shocked how many people say that about UPS drivers. We’re not worth it according to them of course they don’t do our jobs and they can go pound sand.
