even 2.25 is a lot for a cup of coffee that cost approximately 20 cents to make, here in Canada, Tim Horton's charges 1.35 for a large, that's about 1.00 US, now that's fair!
I think Carl got "pool stored" at the dunkin donuts!!!! Hope they delivered that for ya!!!!

Unfortunately, if you have ANY trade come to your house to do work, you get charged big time, that's the way it is. If people learn to help themselves, this can be overcome easily enough, however, if you do not want to educate yourself on how to fix or maintain what you own, then you pay the price, that's just the way it is.
I saved myself approximately 1350 dollars this spring between a furnace issue and a septic tank issue - the furnace fix was 200 instead of 600 and the septic issue was 40 (yes 40!!!) instead of 900 - funny how the stink factor can increase the cost so dramatically!!!!!!
