Found something very odd in my corner of MIT this week. And yes, that's $4 for a thin can of Suntory BOSS cafe au last. 😱

Vending machine selling very expensive Japanese coffee and tea.

That's fair enough. I guess the work pressures were (partly) brought on by the fact he wasn't qualified/skilled enough to handle them...😅
