[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely adore her now. This is exactly why many wealthy people retain their wealth.

Thoughts?[/quote]

I don't see anything to adore here and I definitely don't think that rich people hold on to millions and billions by being cheap about coffee .  I get that they are giving away most of their wealth and that is admirable, but spending probably more than the coffee shop worker makes in a year to fly to and stay at this fancy resort, while then complaining to someone who has no ability to set prices and is probably struggling with increased prices due to inflation, seems distasteful and out of touch. Maybe it's just them pandering to folks like you who admire it and don't think that most people retain their extreme wealth by exploiting other people.
