    I thought they always kept a big vat of 3 day old coffee that they had been continually cooking.

      But can you guarantee that your barrista is competent?

          QFT.

          If I wanted a cup of industrial grade/taste coffe, I would buy a glass of nescafé - probably shoot myself immediatedly after

              Yes. You find a competent barista, and then go to him/her for your coffee.

                  Ben's right. Assuming $6.25/hr x 40 hours/week with 2 weeks of non-paid vacation, you'd need to pay $12,500 (less savings for unpaid sick leave).
