Could be some bias too some cups might be more complicated to make. Still what a horrible thing to use. Can I trick it by bringing "empty cups o coffee" to the front?

Yeah, this will actively discourage the most experienced baristas. It takes ~15 seconds to pour some drip coffee out of a carafe, but it takes ~90s for a good quality latte or cappuccino. If your least experienced employee is “6x more productive” then your most senior, that creates a hilariously bad incentive to fire people who know what they’re doing.

Not to mention that this disincentives cleaning.
