weird economics

[cellio]

My employer provides free drinks, including soft drinks, but because ours is a small office we have to do our own buying. When supplies get low somebody goes to the store, which requires carrying cases of pop a couple blocks. Particularly during the winter this sometimes broke down, so that got us to look at options.

It feels wrong that it is cost-effective to buy our drinks from Amazon. That really shouldn't work. It can be less expensive to buy locally if there's a sale, but otherwise it's a wash -- and an Amazon box comes to our door.

Huh, weird.

I learned a new word today. Hmm, could be. I wouldn't have thought of their "pantry" as being that dominant yet, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
