Perhaps some people thought 10 million out of 1.65 billion in 2019 would be easy to find and just turn up after buying every cup of coffee and for some people one did just turn up for them just that easy, but that wasn't the norm and it's still not, it's just not in the math of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>People that seach for them find them.
