Wake up and smell the coffee
_____________________________________________
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will pay $25,000 to settle allegations it overcharged customers at some Wisconsin stores, state consumer protection officials said Thursday.
Supercenter stores in West Bend, Fond du Lac, Antigo, Shawano and Appleton overcharged customers for bulk items including sweet potatoes, grapes and grind-it-yourself coffee.

Now keep in mind I am not here to defend Wal-Mart but I read the above statement in the local paper today and had to chuckle. Not that they went after the company for overcharging but that they went after them because they charged for the weight of the bags.
I don't know about you, but the last time we purchased grapes they came in plastic bag and that bag had holes in it. How much could that possible weigh. Even the bag used for the coffee beans could not have weight enough to where it would have cost me a penny extra.
Personally I think this is just going to far. Next thing you know they will be charged with overcharging because they used a plastic wrapper around the bread.
On other topic about coffee, I thought I would bring everyones attention to a new coffee labeled Kopi Luwak. This coffee is gathered up and roasted after it has had a very interesting process already done to it. Believe it or not, the coffee bean is gathered up from the forest floor after it has been eaten.
Yep you read it correctly. It 1st is eaten by a small civit-like animal called a Paradoxurus. It is then gathered up and processed for human consummation.
I am not making this one up, so do a goggle search on KOPI LUDWAK and read away.
Of course your going to want to have a cup of the brew with you when you read it.
