Painful as it is, there are criticisms to be made about the ritual that is getting a little treat. All those seemingly small expenses add up, and if we constantly pursue them in lieu of more industrious pursuits, we may not necessarily find ourselves in a place that we want to be. Also, it isn’t always the healthiest attitude to take.

However, it could also be argued that these kinds of critiques all fall under the same joyless and judgmental ‘stop buying avocado toast and you will be able to afford a house’ attitude. Life is for living, and it is these small joys that may seem superfluous, but feel like the much-needed cherry on the dubious cake of existence. So, eat that pastry, order the more extravagant coffee, and most importantly, look at memes. They are entertaining treats in image form, and there are enough of them for everybody to enjoy.
