How To Get Half Price Cup Of Coffee

I always like to do math calculations when I see a bunch of sheeple buying their lattes and caramel machiatos at Starbucks. The going rate for a grande latte is over $3 with tax.

At least Starbucks coffee is not tracking with price of gas per gallon. Coffee used to track linear with gallon of gas. When gas was seventy five cents a gallon in the '90's, I could buy a decent cup of coffee at Peet's for about 6 bits or seventy five cents. With gas hovering around $4 per gallon in the Bay Area, coffee is a steal $2 a cup for regular black coffee.  It's half price.

What is the big deal that drives people to line up 20 deep for sub-standard cup of coffee at Starbucks? Is is the neat white cup with the fancy green logo? Or is it the racy brown heat coaster? Starbucks and Louis Louis VUITTON should be thrown in the same trashy group of wannabes. Here is the perfect picture: A Starbucks grande latte carried in your left hand and the Louis Louis VUITTON purse clutched under your armpit. That is class!

I am a total coffee snob. If and when I go out for coffee, I will settle for a generic cup of joe at Micky D's over Starbucks any day. It's an unpretentious decent cup of coffee. I never said good. It gets the job done. Caffeine. Hot baby! Need I say more? It's not even sexy. Mickey D's is boring. Almost to the point of being embarrassing because this same place sells "Happy Meals".  Do you feel happy after your kids have scarfed down a greasy slider with a side of fries and vanilla milk shake?  This just about makes me cry!  Get your coffee early before the happy meals come out.

Let's cut the crap. We all have our vices. Whether it's beer, wine, tea,or black coffee, we have 'em. Let's not say that we drink x for the taste. Take away the caffeine or alcohol and all of us would be drinking pomegranate or cranberry juice.

For the purest who really likes fresh roasted coffee, I salute you, for it does taste better. It's even cheaper than a cup of Xbucks. It's also about 1/10 the price for an excellent cup of coffee.

Want a free cup of coffee at Starbucks?  Next time that you visit there, tell them that your last cup of coffee was terrible.  You have to be totally honest.  You would be lieing if you said that your last cup of coffee was good.  More than likely, they will give you a free cup.
