Went to the Starbucks Reserve tourist trap in Chicago this morning to catch up with an old friend. 16 Oz coffee was $7 plus I added a tip. Such a crazy amount to pay for a coffee. However, it was one of the best coffees I’ve ever had, and I feel like I had 17 coffees at once. Papua New Guinea makes some serious over diesel fuel over there.

$7 for a coffee is sooooo gross but it is the ~new normal~
Starbucks by my work is basically half that. Just a crazy tourist and speciality premium. It was a fantastic cup though. Gotta give them that.
It’s a cool building, I just wish it wasn’t Starbucks.
