  • I’ve had that happen with what i assume was a hand lotion because there was a particular part of the lid that smelled.

    I don’t know why other people are treating you with so much disbelief. This absolutely can happen with people not thinking about how their habits impact what customers are consuming. With how many millions of coffee beverages that are served every day, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that some small portion are handled improperly with poor hygiene. It also shouldn’t be overly surprising if you’ve had it happen multiple times because you likely visit the shops near you. Such an event isn’t random and is the result of someone’s bad habits.









  • Since they’re following a specific cohort, I wonder if that isn’t just the baseline percentage of recently homeless people who can secure housing on their own in 6 months. It would help if they had a control group.

    Edit:

    It looks like the $50/month group is considered the control group. If you ignore the income from the program entirely, it doesn’t seem unexpected that 20% of people could secure housing over a 6 month period. So it’s not that $50/month tripled the housing rate, it’s that 6 months is enough time for 20% of people to increase their income enough to lease an apartment.

    If you consider the inverse of that. Even after 6 months, 70% of participants that did not receive substantial assistance were unable to get their own housing. Does that result still surprise you when framed that way?
