Some people pay more for the same coffee because they are willing to spend extra, just like how some kids would buy a candy bar even if it costs twice as much. Imagine you and your friend both go to a café, you choose a plain cup of coffee that costs $2, but your friend picks a fancy latte with extra flavors for $5. They pay more because they enjoy the extra taste or experience.
Examples
- Your friend buys a chocolate-flavored latte for $5, while you get black coffee for $3 from the same café.
- A man buys the most expensive cup of coffee in the store even though it’s only slightly different from the cheaper one.
- You go to a fancy coffee shop and pay $6 for your drink because it tastes better than the $2 coffee at the regular shop.
