"Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary isn't known to mince words, and his take on workers splurging on their daily cups of coffee and work lunches was no exception.
"Stop buying coffee for $5.50. You got to work and spend $15 on a sandwich – what are you, an idiot?" O'Leary, also known as Mr. Wonderful, said in a financial advice clip shared on Instagram last week.

He’s right but he also pimped the FTX scam.
Well if the inflation that enriched you and every other scammer in the phony economy wasn’t so hugh, then maybe they could easily afford that coffee.
It’s a lot of money
It’s social
Regular secondary relationships like customer and clerk ease loneliness and enhance social skills
It tastes good
It provides energy boost
It’s a much better habit than a corner bar, a social ritual that goes back millennia
[Kevin O’Leary rips workers who waste money buying daily cups of coffee: ‘What are you, an idiot?’]
I’ve always thought it was dumb to buy overpriced coffee.
Or rare occasion, the boss would have us head down to Starbucks (gag) - I wasn’t much of a coffee drinker so I just got a hot chocolate which was good enough in the Fall and the Spring.
Once Starbucks said “Don’t come in if you don’t support gay marriage” I never went there again. Except one guy who was at a church in The Woodlands suggested we meet there.
After we met, I told him I didn’t want to give Starbucks any business and suggested we go elsewhere. We did so immediately.
Nice guy; it was his treat. That being said I didn’t want him giving even his money to Starbucks but I always hoped he saw their agenda.
I wonder that every day I see them lined up. Crazy.
Two Starbucks just opened in my deep red county, with a demographic that really can’t afford the luxury.
I’ve been saying it for some time: Friends don’t let friends drink 5-bucks.
BUSTELLO. Then add all the gay flavors you want, at a fraction of the cost.

Wow, just like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair.
I rarely waste money on the likes of $tarbuck$ coffee, and he’s sort of right while perhaps exaggerating a bit. Let’s say that you waste $6 per workday on overpriced coffee. How many workdays per year? approximately 250? That’s like $1,500 per year. It’s something, sure, if you don’t make a lot. And, yes, if you plow that $1,500 into your retirement account, it might turn into real money 40-50 years from now. On the other hand, we all need to waste money on a few things we enjoy just to deal with all the crap, so if you like the damned coffee, then buy the damned coffee.
Last week on Gutfeld te topic was airline travel and the TSA. They asked Kevin O’Leary and he had no answer. He doesn’t fly commercial
What? He thinks people think they’re going to get there if they don’t stop at Starbucks?
They’re still opening new stores?
Wow. I thought they’d had to close a bunch of them across the fruited plain.
Many don’t know how to make acceptable coffee, just like they can’t find places on the map.
If one doesn’t golf once a week. If one doesn’t go bowling once a week. If one doesn’t donate to a church once a week.
Yes all ways to save, but if no one spends money then what happens.
I lived next door to a neighborhood Starbucks and went there everyday for a drip coffee - black. It was their cheapest thing and actually all I like. But when I added up the cost I quit. Now I’m grinding my own Peet’s Major Dickason beans and using my own pod in the Kerig.
Ah, the good ol’ days. 30 cents for pig’s knuckle... Why can’t I ever catch a break on pig’s knuckle anymore??
