Even at full price, it’s a great deal. Plus, there are so many interesting people on the train every day. For instance, today there was a lady on the train with a box of chocolates. I asked her about them. She explained that she was selling them for her granddaughter’s soccer team. I asked, “how much?” She replied, “one d
