    A few weeks ago, i had a customer ask “Why is coffee so expensive!?”

    I told her it was the tariffs, she told me “Tariffs wouldn’t do that”

    “Mam, that’s the only thing tariffs do…”

    These people are remarkably immune to reality.

      If you want to melt their brain: Tell them it’s tariffs and climate change. Coffee is getting expensive in Europe, too.

        Is that why mushroom coffee is starting to take off? Haven’t tried it, but to each their own…

          My other half tried some mushroom coffee. It was $20 for a package that would make six cups, and she ended up not liking it anyway. I didn’t try it myself because all coffee is gross.

        Very expensive. I had to switch from Italian coffee to Spanish coffee lately, and Spanish coffee is terrible.
