Re: Markup is whatever people will pay
said by jazzlady  :Maybe- but Starbuck's have been closing all over over the country, so what does that tell you? That you can get just as tasty coffee for a lot cheaper somewhere else. Try getting just as fast broadband a lot cheaper somewhere else. There isn't a "somewhere else" nor is there "A lot cheaper" either.

You're right.
As far as coffee goes, nothing beats the coffee I make myself, at home. Grinding your own beans fresh for every pot makes a huge difference, believe me...
As far as getting cheaper broadband- you got me on that one. I have 2 choices where I live- cable modem at rip off prices, or dog slow overpriced Verizon 3 Mbps DSL.
I love the Verizon rep who called me last week trying to convince me that in actuality- their 3 Mbps DSL was "just as fast" as my 15 Mbps cable connection...
Uh...sorry- no. Last I checked, 3 was one fifth of 15. I can see he was at the top of his class in math....  |
