So? The GP is still allowed to think it's crazy that those people spend that amount of money. The GP is surely aware, like everyone is, that you can make food for less than you can buy premade stuff for. As are the people buying coffee at the coffee shop, who will go on spending it no matter how many people reply to his comment.

So unless people are trying to get the GP to join in their addiction (but cheaper!), there's no point in telling him all this. Nothing is being refuted.




You're wrong. Of course, anyone is entitled to think it's crazy to spend a lot of money on coffee at Starbucks.

But it's also perfectly valid to respond that it's easy to enjoy a delicious cup of hot coffee for not a lot of money.


There is no chance that he didn't understand there are cheaper ways to get a cup of coffee than a fancy cafe.
