I had to go by the supermarket yesterday, so I stopped by (even though I didn't need anything)...That 'Keurig 2.0' paper tape was just an advertisement...Huh???

The cash register receipt tape isn't big enough to hold all the spam ads??? They have to print out a supplemental paper tape??? Yes, the nice girl says, that's exactly what it is. The supermarket computer has identified me as a serious coffee customer and will henceforth spew out more spam and junk ads for coffee, coffeemakers, cream additives, filters, sugar alternatives, even tea advertisements...

This despite the fact that they don't even sell the Keurig coffeemakers!!!

I was actually hoping it was a reduced-price promotion and I could buy a new coffeemaker...But no luck.

And to add insult to injury, the day manager had no idea where I could buy this revolutionary new 'Keurig 2.0' coffeemaker...
