  • Kauai Coffee is a relatively large operation that exports to the continental US and is more like $9 retail (and perpetually on sale for $7.50 or so) for a 10oz bag in the grocery store.

    It’s not cheap coffee, but it’s certainly not top of the line priced coffee.

    They do make some coffees that are more than $25/lb, but not the "regular* stuff people would buy in a store.

    Of course I agree that their price will go up with the market with tariffs introduced, and that in general the tariffs are a terrible, terrible idea.











  • This is technically fired, but it’s more like quitting. It doesn’t perfectly fit this thread but I love telling this story.

    A few months into my first real job, the engineers got their raises (not me, I was new). 0%, after record profits, the team busting their ass and working insane hours, and promises of good raises. I think they got some gift cards or something.

    One of my coworkers goes back to his desk, packs some stuff, walks to his car, and doesn’t come back. He got paid for a full month before they finally fired him. We got a beer after and he was like “oh I don’t think I’m gonna go back” in the most Office Space way
