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.
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?
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.

Funny,
It used to be that employers feed coffee to employees for free.
Why?
Productivity.

80 million people will vote for a dolt and a dick.
A lotta stupid people out there.
I have been drinking home-brewed Folgers (black) since my college days starting in 1979. Still use the same Stanley Thermos too!
I wish I was as thrifty with other things...
Us peasants got to eat and drink too maybe you should focus on making the food and coffee cheaper so we don’t have to throw it all away I’m just food
And if you let us work from home it would be like cheaper for us not to mention how much gas we would save. But then your commercial real estate and take it up the wazoo!
Rhetorical question. Invest in a coffee machine and filters. Keep a liter of milk in the fridge. These are financial wizards? Alakazam! Money disappears.
