Bean Counters Aren’t Paid In Beans
Customer: “I read online that the production cost for this frappe is only $2.89.”
Me: “Possibly. I’m not aware of the production costs.”
Customer: “So then why am I paying $6 for it?!”
Me: “The store needs to make a profit.”
Customer: “Why?”
Me: “So it can pay to maintain the building… as well as pay baristas like me.”
Customer: “Ugh. You already get free coffee!”
They pay for their ‘overpriced’ frappe and come back after finishing it to get another for the road, as well as a slice of cake.
