Actually, you'd be amazed how much of a pain it is to have to buy 5 coffees at 320 Yen from Starbucks everday.

Man, I wish my company's kitchen was fully stocked.

Every cup of coffee is future profit sharing? ;)

I'll wait till they buy out my portfolio before letting any warm and cuddly feelings fill my heart as I fork out a portion of my hard earned hourly wage to cope with an obscene caffeine addiction.
