All of this is VERY interesting! I'm glad you get a 10% discount at places, and that the hospital where you work has a decent kiosk and cafeteria and that Starbucks is too much $$ for what it is to you, but that Le Pain Quowhatever is not too much $$ for what it is, etc. This has been very fascinating!
