Years ago I saw a show on new inventions. One office building in Britain decided to pipe tea around the building instead of having multiple brewing sections. The pipes corroded and the idea was shelved. I wonder with PVC, if it would now work.
This idea was used by National Public Radio one year on April Fool’s Day—they set it up as a legitimate story and then, for two days afterwards, they read letters from outraged listeners who couldn’t get their internet service provider to sign up for the coffee delivery service. Tune in to your local NPR station on April 1 this year and you will hear something which sounds. . .cool, but not quite right. Oh, and donate to your local NPR station.
Every time I get a Starbuck’s coffee; I have to put a couple of small ice cubes in it: first to cool it down a little, then to tone down the bitterness. Why go to that trouble when I can get a great cup of smooth, just right coffee at McDonald’s? I also get one of the few perks of getting old! I get it for 50 cents.

And next week he’s going to ask tech support to install one of those cute automatic cup holders.

I see trouble brewing here, could be grounds for some serious legal problems despite the perks of having coffee on demand.

Kind of surprised they haven’t come up with that one already.

Starbucks should just team up with a service like Skip the Dishes or Door Dash.

Now there’s an idea to increase worker productivity.

That’s a really good idea. But I still refuse to patronize Fourbucks because I’m too cheap to pay that much for a cup of coffee.

Internet bills will skyrocket for their customers. I’m not a coffee drinker – ugh!

Your internet bill must be through the roof…and you like paying it.

I don’t see why they couldn’t do that. It has a little tray that comes out and holds your coffee mug already.
