It's a legit Nespresso box packed beautifully. KOLLARS: I thought I was going to get, you know, a janky box sent by somebody who packed it personally from eBay. HOROWITZ-GHAZI: And it's not just the number of boxes. KOLLARS: And I know I'm waiting for the coffee, right? I know. KOLLARS: And there's too many boxes in front of my door.įOUNTAIN: Two boxes to be specific, which is one more than she was expecting. A few days later comes home, and this is when the weirdness starts. HOROWITZ-GHAZI: But she decides the probability that it's stolen is low.įOUNTAIN: So she makes the order, and she's keeping an eye out for a box. KOLLARS: But, you know, the third thing that goes through your mind is, did this fall off the back of a truck - wink, wink - right? So people trying to sell off the perks they get for being part of a loyalty program or something. And they were, you know, trying to make a dollar off of it. And when you purchase a whole bunch, sometimes you get extra for free. So either the coffee is getting close to expiring, or somebody had gone in and purchased a whole bunch. Sure enough, she finds a sampler pack for half off.įOUNTAIN: What was your theory of how they were selling it for half the price? But instead of buying them on Nespresso's website, she starts looking for a deal on eBay. HOROWITZ-GHAZI: The pods come in these different blends and intensities, and so Nina's like, I'm going to get a sampler pack, a bunch of different pods. KOLLARS: I'm literally drinking my Nespresso coffee right now.įOUNTAIN: Nespresso is Nestle's version of a coffee maker that uses those little coffee pods - big in Europe, kind of aimed at people who like fancy espresso but don't have time to go to the cafe and don't mind burning through a bunch of pods. NINA KOLLARS: Are we plugging for Nespresso? Can I say Nespresso?įOUNTAIN: We can totally say Nespresso. Nina Kollars is definitely in the second camp, and a version of that little dilemma happened to her not too long ago when she bought a coffee machine. Then there are the people who get hung up wondering, where did this money come from? Should I try to figure out who dropped it?
They put it in their pocket, maybe get themselves a little treat.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there are two kinds of people in the world - the ones who, when they find a $20 bill on the street, are like, yes. SYLVIE DOUGLIS, BYLINE: This is PLANET MONEY from NPR.
