If/when AI wipes out the white collar "knowledge worker" jobs who is going to be able to afford going to the coffee shop?

Those are even easier to automate or have already been most of the way.

    Are you going in to a lot of coffee shops?

      And? As people (the consumers) get automated away there will be less. We also have things like instant coffee, automatic coffee machines, etc that have all reduced the need for manual coffee.

        It's hard to take you seriously with this rebuttal. You don't go to coffee shops and probably don't care for coffee if you're talking about instant coffee. Why even speak at all on this subject that you are not familiar with? Not every thought that enters your mind needs to be written out.
