Kopi vs Coffee

November 1st, 2007 by lynnylchan under Comments and School Life

I didn’t have time to grab breakfast today, so I queued up at Coffee Express for a muffin before my lecture began. Unfortunately, the line was terribly long so I gave up and got something from the vending machine instead.

Who are these kids paying 3 bucks for a cup of coffee? I don’t get it, but I’m not a java junkie anyway. I just want a hot, sweet milky drink. I don’t care where the beans came from, what kind of flavour and acidity they have, and whether or not sugar helps the taste.

50-cents-coffee from the Arts Canteen it is. Even then, I get ripped off. Ask the uncle for a carrier handle, because a paper cup full of hot coffee is a bit difficult to keep hold of, and he puts it in the plastic bag containing my takeaway lunch instead. I don’t mind saving the world’s landfills from unnecessary plastic bags, but if you’re going to charge me an extra 10 cents for a takeaway, give me the carrier, dammit!

For 20% of the price, you get 20% of the service.
