How to order coffee at Starbucks

Does anyone drink coffee anymore? Whenever I sit at a Starbucks or similar coffee house and hear someone order a beverage it sounds way too complicated. It's mostly milk/cream, and sugar with very little coffee added. It's more like a coffee-flavored beverage. I get coffee, it's easy, and all it needs to be added is a cup. But seriously, the only way to order coffee at Starbucks is to buy the beans and grind them at home to use them in your French Press. That is if you like over-roasted beans.

Recently it's tough to walk in and order a coffee. You would think your best bet is using the app. However, the drive-thru gets the priority. I've ordered on the app, drove a few miles, and waited at the counter for 10 minutes for a venti black coffee with nothing added. The whole process was a half hour while the drive-thru recycled several times.
