03/11/09: I decided to buy a pitcher of beer for me and my friends. We work hard, and deserve some refreshment. The pitcher cost $14, but my friends covered the extra dollar, tax, and tip. It was money well spent. Not only did this purchase help the establishment in which I purchased it, and the server who works there. This purchase benefited the distributer, and the transportation company that delivered it as well. Also to mention the companies that manufactured the actual pitcher, the keg, the tap, the CO2 cartridges, the furniture, the lines that run from the keg to the tap, the glasses we drank from, the detergent used to wash the pitcher and glasses, and the coasters. I am doing my patriotic duty, $13 at a time.
