When I graduated university in the late 80's the economy was in the toilet so none of us from my class had jobs lined up. This was before coffee shops (Starbucks, Tim's etc.) were a big thing. We had made it through school on endless cups bought at the one coffee place on campus. We walked out of our final exam wondering what we were going to do next and one of my buddies says we should open a bunch of coffee places. We all looked at him like he had three eyes and told him that was the stupidest idea we had ever heard, how could a business ever make a go of selling essentially only coffee?
