This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I learned about this years ago when I pulled into a McDonalds at midnight for coffee. Guy said they didn't have any made but would make a pot, and that me buying the cup of coffee paid for the whole large pot.

Not 100% sure, but the margins on coffee are probably nowhere near as high as on fountain drinks.

My guess would be around an order of magnitide less.

Still considerable, but the margin on soft drinks is absurd.

I think bottled water is the next step down from the absurd margins of fountain soda.

You only get about three larges out of a pot of McCafe drip but indeed the packets of coffee are the cheapest commodity Brazilian coffee they can find
