Is there a clinical name for fear of
running out of coffee filters? I usually buy my filters in a supermarket chain
here in Valencia called Mercadona but the other big chain, Consum,
is downstairs in my building. I had thought about buying more filters the last
2-3 times I was shopping at Mercadona but forgot. I was beginning to
feel very uneasy about the possibility of waking up one morning without a coffee filter. It
was time for drastic measures which meant looking for filters in the
supermarket in my building. If I had to pay an extra 20 cents or so then so be it. Can you put a price on piece of mind?
I looked around for filters the other
day downstairs in Consum but I couldn’t find them, even after asking two
people who worked there (I think they worked there). On my next trip to Consum
I found them, not in the coffee section but in another area (why wouldn’t they
be with the rest of the coffee products?). When I got home and put them away in
my big cupboard I saw that I already had a back-up box of 100 filters. After a
quick calculation I estimate that I don’t need to panic again for another 7
months or so.
