For the first time this semester I skipped classes and went on a trip.
Instead of leaving the underground making my way to colleague I decided on a u turn and to go get a cup of coffee instead... The reason is yet not clear, but if I were to guess it would have something to do with my propensity to get bored in classrooms.
So, my u turn left me standing in line on a Starbucks where after much consideration I picked ( your favorite) payed and went out on my way to wherever fait led me to.
But as I was drinking the (thinggy) I noticed a little brand printed on the side of the cup, fare trade, and as everyone that sees that label I thought onto myself "That's why the coffee at Starbucks is so expensive, because they (Starbucks) are good and fair people" and I felt good with myself for a bit.
Then I thought of how many people were good people for buying their daily coffee at Starbucks, and what about those that are doubly good that drink two Starbucks coffee's every day. And not just in Portugal, but in Europe and across the seas ( including the oceans), there must be a couple billion (American billions of course) coffees served every day. Then i looked at the receipt one ( of your favorites) costed me almost €10 (8$00), and compared it to my every day coffee from my expresso (also fair trade) where every capsule cost €0.10 (0$08). And as you may have figured it out by now I've been robbed. ( arguments against this conclusion may be subscribed under comments) but like I wrote somewhere up there it felt good for a bit.
