The first problem is that the coffee is all organic. Organic: as in that process whereby one uses more land and a lot more water to produce less product at a lower quality and higher cost. No thanks! What a waste of resources. Give me the pesticides please!
The second problem is that the coffee is all "Fair-trade." Fair-trade: as in that process whereby one stops employing the 12-year-old who is supplying desperately-needed income to his poverty-stricken family just so one may put a stamp on their product which gives an ego boost to idiot Poshco shoppers who convince themselves they are saving the world just because they bought a certain coffee. No thanks! I'll enjoy my cheap coffee knowing a 10-year-old fed his baby sister.
All of the auto-****** ego-stroking sickens even me, and I'm the kind of cluster-****-of-cells who shares things on Hello Poetry.
This is the problem with Costco in general: It's Poshco. It's Geriatrico. It's Boomerco. With everything being Organic, and Low-Sodium, and Fair-Trade, and Low-Fat, and low-flavor, and higher cost than I joined Costco for to begin with. I'm here to buy the cheapest possible coffee! I don't want this needlessly expensive crap. If coffee costs this much it should be because it tastes better not because you wasted money making it organic and Fair-Trade. In fact, can you please use more genetic modification to increase crop yields? God bless Monsanto!
