Dear Over Priced Coffee Shops
A.H. Mittelman
Dear Over Priced Coffee shops,
Why are you so expensive? I can make my store bought coffee for cheap.
Why do you charge me six dollars for one cup. I have to take out my wallet and dig deep.
I love the convenience of someone making coffee for me, but not the price I have to pay.
If you do not lower the price, I'll keep making my own store bought coffee because I cannot afford to pay. And until I save up a fortune for your expensive convenient brew, it will just have to stay that way.
I wish I had the money to buy your expensive and delicious Cappuccino's, Latte's, espresso's and Americano's and other java's every day. Sadly at your prices, there is just no way.
I'll have to report you to the International Coffee Organization, also known as the ICO. They'll also tell you your prices really blow.
If that doesn't work, there's a lot of people who feel like me. We will all stop buying your overpriced mud and start making our own coffee.
Please lower your daily coffee price. That would be very nice. If we are forced to protest, we will be as cold as ice.
Thank you for acknowledging our price request, we told you we are concerned. If the price of coffee is lowered, then the lesson you have learned.
Sincerely,
Your best customer, Alex.

B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.

Right on! Home brewed coffee for the win! You can even buy one of those little battery powered milk frothers for under $20. Cappuccinos for days!
Omggg, tell me about it! Although I actually prefer making my own coffee, I would love to be able to buy a Starbucks or something once in a blue moon. It's so expensive now. These luxury coffee cost plus minus RM20 (Ringgit Malaysia). With that, I can actually buy a packet of instant coffee that would last me for months. I have no idea why they're so overpriced. It's so ridiculous. What's more ridiculous is the fact that people still buy it! Like you said, the prices will only be lowered if everyone boycotts it!
I agree, that’s why I make my own coffee at home, Folgers Black Silk with vanilla creamer
Ugh, you are speaking my language! I want to be able to sit at a cafe, drink coffee and people watch, but that's become a luxury for me. I still do it though 😆
So relatable ❤️😉💯📝👍
