At Philz, you order first and pay second, which is opposite most traditional coffee shops. There will usually be a big sign directing you to the proper place.

Most baristas will ask you to taste your drink while you're at their station—just so they can make sure they got everything perfect.
Don't hesitate to ask your barista if your drink isn't quite to your liking. They can tweak your drink until it's just right.
