musings of a coffee employee

for some reason today it really hit me how much people are willing to pay for caffeine! i couldn't believe people are willing to pay $4-$5 for a cup of fill in the blank (latte, expresso, mocha, etc.). getting free drinks (i usually just get tea or flavored italian soda) at work has really spoiled me b/c i don't think i'll go to a coffee shop and pay for a drink for a long time. of course, it helps that i'm not a big caffeine drinker. :)
