Coffee and scone = $13

[Anonymous]

I just paid 65 dollars for 8 small ‘street’ style tacos with a side of consommé sauce for dc and me for lunch. From a small hole in the wall take out place.

It’s ridiculous

No one is forcing you to pay DC takeout prices.

This. No way I am paying what the cafes charge for a plain drip coffee.

OP here. I do need to get out for a break during the day but will probably just get a McDonald’s coffee and sit on a bench.

No shame in that. The $ pain is real.

It's crazy that a drip coffee goes for $5. I used to enjoy walking breaks during the day, where I'd occasionally get a coffee at starbucks or wherever. No more!

What was the point of the original post? $13 is a bargain for coffee and a scone downtown.

That’s a terribly unhealthy lunch. No one should ever eat scones and you should definitely not be drinking coffee at noon.

You're fine as long as you get some broccoli.

In practice I just need more caffeine to get my fix though.

I had tried this, and I started noticing basically any of the cruciferous vegetables work. Even a salad with lettuce.

I want to KEEP the caffeine in my system, not remove it! I do eat a lot of broccoli though.

So bored, aren’t you? I work in midtown Manhattan and would not be obnoxious enough to try to claim that $13 is a ‘bargain’ for a coffee and scone.
