Figured they were making money hand over fist. The Starbucks in town has had a constant line at the drive thru that stretches around the building and into the nearby grocery store parking lot.

It’s right next to the UPS store where I drop my Amazon returns. The third time I was in and saw the huge line (and had to cross through it to get to UPS), I asked the clerk of it was always like that. He said yes, the entire time they are open, since the beginning of quarantine.
