Found out my local coffee shop uses 62% more syrup than I do at home

I was at Brew & Grind on Elm Street last Tuesday and the barista let me watch them make a caramel latte. I asked about their syrup pumps and they said they do 4 pumps for a medium. At home I do 2 pumps max. That's double the sugar right there. I looked it up later and apparently shops use a standard ratio to make drinks taste 'bolder' but it's basically just more sugar. Has anyone else checked what their favorite cafe uses compared to what they put in at home?

Did they charge you extra for the privilege of watching them double your sugar intake?
