No Grind and No Puck Prep

I recently went to a Coffee and Pastry shop. They had a dual group head Rocket. Here are my observations...

The Rocket had 6 single shot esspresso cups and six cappuccino cups on the warmer. We answered "HERE" to the question "for here or to go". They served us and all other seated guests "paper cups".

The beans were not freshly ground for my esspresso, but freshly ground for the next customers esspresso.

There was zero puck prep. The only prep was a very heavy and long tamping process, by really putting there weight into it.

I understand the Rocket makes up for these shortcomings, but am I wrong to be surprised and confused.

Please know I, do not go to coffee shops, so...
