Buck-a-cup Coffee

Gang:
Well FuwaFuwausagi was out visiting a client today in the D.C. area. Anyways I was staying in Tyson Square/Falls Church area cruising down Leesburg Pike when I saw it, a small coffee hut, with duel drive-up that is called coffee-for-a-buck, selling gourmet coffee for buck a cup. I note, no shortage in the dual lanes. I'll let you guys ponder the implications.

Gourmet?
"...selling gourmet coffee for buck a cup...."
So what makes the coffee "gourmet"???

My reply:
I have no idea. I don't drink coffee. I just noted the place, the lines sort of stood out in the shopping center it was located in. There is a Whole Foods there and a Trader Joes not far away, so given the likely demographic I suppose this is a play to the cheap-chic/shek (ala Target). I travel extensively, so I tend to cruise around looking at businesses to occupy my down time - better than the bars.

This would be more trustworthy if you said you actually drank
some of it.
It reminds me of a story about moonshine whiskey - so bad that two guys had to hole a gun on each other to make em drink it.--

Personal observation
And contrary to what some might think from reading this board, Solomon is particular about the quality of the product... even when being consumed in quantity.
