The guy is from an immigrant family, and his parents until recently worked minimum wage. It is just that the cost of living in Washington D.C. got this outrageous.

Then sadly, knowing how a lot of my friends shopped when they were broke, I bet that it is something like a convenience store. Not saying that DC isn't expensive, I was literally just there visiting a friend who lives there, but I also live in an area with a CoL well above the national average and coffee still isn't $20 for cheap pre-ground stuff
