“Here buddy, I read these things can help with your PTSD.”

Something tells me if the students, staff, and faculty stop buying coffee from Starbucks, it will have more impact.

Or am I misunderstanding? Where I am you can choose not to buy Starbucks coffee. Does their university require it for some reason?

NABDad ,

Actually, you can. I did it.

Also, I drink coffee now every day, and I never go to Starbucks. It’s cheaper and better to just make it myself.

NABDad ,

No, of course I’m not real. I’m being facetious.

NABDad ,

Excellent! Maybe they can actually have good coffee!

First choice for me is to make my own. I have a Keurig at home and one in my office at work. I have reusable pods and my preferred coffee from the grocery store at each location.

If for some reason I can’t make my own, first choice is Wawa. I like their coffee, and I like the way they handle the process (get your coffee yourself, and drink it while you wait in line to pay).

If Wawa is unavailable, next stop would be Dunkin.

If all that is left is Starbucks, I’m going without. However, I drink it black. Without all the nonsense people get in their over-priced coffee at Starbucks, it tastes like pig farm runoff. I don’t actually know what pig farm runoff tastes like, but I imagine it is similar to Starbucks coffee.

If I had to guess, I’d say the objection is because sometimes bombs explode.

That look that says:

I could kill you, but I really like you, so I won’t…

…but I could.

I miss having cats in my life.

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?

Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this....

What I don’t understand is, why do companies who don’t make money from real estate give a shit? When everyone at my job who could work from home went home to work, our CEO’s reaction was, “If everyone can work from home, why the hell were we paying all this money for rent?”

To the extent possible, everyone is still working from home, and where the organization couldn’t get out of leases, they’re planning to let them expire. They’re not spending more money to have people work on site just because they have sunk costs in a lease.
