[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.

Give me a good hot chocolate any time.

Coffee and alcohol are two things I could never get a taste for.

Our car pool in CA stopped at a Starbucks a couple times a week on our way in to work. I couldn’t believe how much it cost, but sometimes I’d get a “small black whatever is strongest”. Most times, I’d get nothing. I’m pretty thrifty (except when it comes to quilting fabric). My Keurig pods that cost about 30-50 cents are fine for me

Then I hope you're not drinking bottled water. I've seen the Speedway database. A while ago, the wholesale price for a 79 cent bottle of water was 1 penny!
