Going to coffee shops on your own

[Tadger]

Men really shouldn’t worry about this kind of shit.

I buy a venti filter from Starbucks every morning, 600ml for £2, which is decent value.

There's always someone in the queue ordering a wockadockachoccalatte with cream for about 7 quid. Crazy

Get a free refill with every filter coffee in Starbucks as well

@nelford_safc loves the stuff. Sad sack will pay any price for a coffee.

The drink choice of war criminals and slave owners.

Massively overpriced priced noodles and rice

Also this crack of food turning up when its ready instead of altogether is mental. Just learn to cook things to be ready at the same time, not have sides arriving as you nearly finish your Domburi


We talking Starbucks and that ilk or little places that make a good cup of coffee?

Mainly find myself in neros enjoying a hazelnut latte while scrolling through my phone

Nero is the better of the chains. Even better with the free coffee from O2 every week

So they make me have a breakdown with no mobile data for 12 hours and now i have to pay for my own coffee?

It is overpriced for me. I would never buy a coffee in one of those places.

It is also underpriced for others because they would willingly buy it at a higher price.

It really goes without saying that somewhere in the middle there there’s a mean - which suggests it’s at about the right price

Ken Bruce was having a jokey discussion this morning about the prices charged in cinemas. The crazy price of two ice creams got a mention and how they search bags to make sure you aren't taking your own sweets and stuff in. Somebody here is arguing that something isn't overpriced if there are people who are willing to pay it. A bit of a daft argument because there is always somebody willing to pay a price but that doesn't mean it's not overpriced.
There's loads of things overpriced like gas, electric, petrol beer, cigarettes, train tickets, concert tickets the list is endless. A mate of mine has just spent around £700 on a phone. He wanted a new iPhone so he sucked it up and payed what is a stupid price. He said it was aarip off himsel but he had no choice apart from not buying something he wanted.
A lot of the items I listed there are essentials so you have no choice but pay up. Some like coffee in coffee shops or beer in pubs you pay the inflated prices or don't go in. So people pay the prices it's that or stay at home. That doesn't mean they are fairly priced though.

Agree - but fools and their money are easily parted.

It is the price they think will maximise their profits. Which is why they flog the stuff.

Had to get away. Lost my house back home after the split and my family over here I am really close to so I thought why not

Yep. That fine balance between underpriced so not giving them a big enough margin, and so overpriced they won’t sell the volume needed.

Ah ffs sorry to hear that, hope you get yourself sorted soon.

True but with a lot of overpriced stuff today it's Hobsons choice because they are essentials. I would never have bought that 700 quid phone but Apple know there are enough mugs who will pay it.

 

[PhilSAFC]

I've never been to a coffee shop with someone else never mind on my own

Billy no mates ^^

Agree it isn’t over priced, the price is right as they appear to be booming. It has a massive margin however, which I think is what they might have been getting at. Hence the success of the companies of course.
