Rip Off Republic - Coffee Culture

| | Comments (0)

TIPPINST - Paid a visit to a new Cafe in clonmel. Was charged 5.70 for the following

1 espresso 1.95
2 slices of brown bread and marmalade 1.75
1 large sausuage roll 2.00
------------
Total 5.70

A realistic price for the above in my opinion would be the following

1 espresso 1.55
2 slices of brown bread and marmalade 1.25
1 large sausuage roll 1.20
------------
Total 4.00

A saving of 1.70, I might have even had a second espresso.
But these rip off prices are an immediate turn off and will stop me going back for a second experience. I know there are rates etc to consider but the profit margins on coffee are already pretty good. It only costs 5 euro for 1/2 1b bag of italian espresso beans.

TIPPINST - ITV launched their channels yesterday onto satellite Free to Air. This means that if you have an aldi/lidl dish you can tune in ITV 1,2,3 and 4. ITV 4 is currently being hosted on the Men and Motors channel until Nov 7th due to some technical hitches.
