Is getting only drip coffee at a coffee shop an income signal?

I get drip every once in a while, but I always feel like a schmuck for ordering it. Drip coffee -- even made with quality beans -- costs all of 5 cents and requires zero barista talent or high-end machines.

a cup* of drip costs 5 cents

Why is that then so many places have such a crappy drip.

Because only poor schmucks who don't know any better order it, so they don't really care to make it with care? And it's prob stale from sitting there for hours.

Americano is only about 2 bucks. Try a venti quad shot cappuccino for $6.

Duh! I didn't think of that. Right on. Being poor probably means they just need a pick up between jobs, anything will do.

Etihad upgraded me to a residence cabin because I showed up at the gate with an impressive espresso-based beverage.

I'm wealthy and healthy because I don't drink coffee. I also use the good china and silverware daily.

You people are so weird. Are these income based posts from people that grew up in third world countries ?

Beyond bizarre.

I think drip is $2, espresso drinks are only another dollar or two.

It's when posters like you post observations such as this that I understand why people in other parts of the country give me "that look" when I tell them I'm from DC. You are a snotty elitist and I haven't even met you, but I know this to be true.

Not all. My brother is loaded. He only buys drip coffee.

If you like coffee, you probably order drip. If you don't like coffee, you are probably paying $6 for someone to make something out of coffee that doesn't taste like coffee. To each their own.

Same could be said for most cocktails. I don't put anything in my coffee OR my whisky.

I ask for a golden cup to make sure everyone knows. I also make sure everyone's sees my Swarovski-encrusted Starbucks card.

Lol.
