America's Coffee Rage

from Failing Up · host Timothy Mahar

We have all heard numerous stories regarding road rage, but let me tell you I believe coffee rage is far more serious.  I had the opportunity stand inside at a drive-thru coffee shop this week, and see the machine at work. There were 20 cars waiting to order, and inside the tension was suffocating. At these coffee shops people order coffee like they are at some five star restaurant, or it's a science experiment.  They are rushed stressed, and on edge until they get their cup with ten varied ingredients with the name of a Italian formula one race car.  Then off they go to race on with their day.  Real coffee is served at a diner, black, just cream, or cream and sugar that's it!    timothymahar.org
