Giving up coffee

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the star (bucks).

And then wasting money on kids when useless cunts like @Horsebox can’t use them.

I have no desire to use kids, bucko.

I saw that Colin Harmon coffee guru, owner of 3FE and other places, on twitter last week justifying passing on the increase. It was something like coffee 40c, cup 20c, lid 10c, staff €1 (per cup of coffee!!!), light & heat 50c, ambience of quality artisan venue 7c.

An absolute fucking charlatan. €1 per cup for staff me hole. This is the same lad who charges €12 for mushrooms on toast. Mugging off a load of hipsters I suppose so maybe he’s alright.

They’d want to be magic for that price

The biggest margin I ever saw in legitimate business was popcorn in the cinema. 9000% or thereabouts.

People should drink matcha

Steady on. He’s a big Liverpool man like yourself.

Here was his tweet.

Them Frank and Honest machines you see in Centra shops cost approx 35k. I’d say you wouldn’t be long making it back

Bloody hell. Makes the Belle Epoque look an absolute steal

The cafe beside our office has passed on the VAT increase to customers, but my female colleagues get different concoctions each with an extra shot. There’s holy war in here this morning after the VAT increase was passed on twice - for the regular drink and the extra shot. One bird’s coffee came to €4 there and it was €3.40 before Christmas. There’s talk of mutiny, flasks, chipping together to buy a decent coffee machine in the office, walking to other cafes and so forth.

Its almost like the time yourself and @LetterkennyMan boycotted the 51 when the price of their pint went above 5 euros. Maybe you should show your work colleagues the emails and letters your wrote them at the time?

[Bandage]

Very much so. I cited that very example to my colleagues. Our steadfastness resulted in the price increase from €5 to €5.20 for a pint of lager being reduced back to a fiver less than a year later. They need to get organised now.

€1 to the staff per cup?!!!

@Batigol

€1 to the staff per cup?!!!

It’s 3fe, they’re so fucking slow they’d only make a cup every 5 mins

[carryharry]

It’s horrible coffee

[StoneCold]

That 2 pups place on Francis street another ripoff hipster joint.

The only way to protest against this extortion by the cinema chains is to steal pick n mix to claw back some of that 9000%. I don’t even really like pick n mix but stealing them on these gangsters makes me feel a little better.

No coffee since Tuesday due to stomach bug. Feel half right today so could get up and have a cup now… Or maybe now is the time to park this filthy obsession.
