Gonna start asking for receipts on coffee transaction to lower their profit yield.

Smart choice. Load up on creamers too just in case coffees too black on the fly.

Good advice.

that’s a good start

how much better is the gas station coffee over the free work coffee?

you could skip coffee intermittently on future gas station visits (coffee is just too expensive here)

you could also ask for a gift receipt to further cut into profits

you could also start to use an AMEX credit card to cut into their profits further

I mean it's premade and I've grown fond of the taste.
I make my own in my office, Folgers original is what we get.

It's not a big deal to make it for myself I just like the little conversation and social interaction in the morning with people/clerks there. It's nice to start the day.
I told them that last time, the seasoned clerk there rang me up for $1 unexpectedly and I go "Oh shit that isnt as bad that's the same" she said "well ya know, it's a dollar today". I didn't expect this act of kidness to echo through all the employees, and it did not.
I don't want to burden them with tedious tasks, maybe charging to AMEX is the play and asking for a receipt to fight the corporate sludge that has encased my coffee.

Anyways my journey continues.

on my 2nd/3rd cup of the day

the makings of a good thursday

Had 1 cup today, think thats all I need.

Drank some coffee today.

I get a bit sad and depressed whenever I stop.

It's not that healthy in the long run but caffeine makes me happy.

there might be a solution for this
