cragman 2,812 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 I don’t know if many on here have the coffee bug but I buy one when I’m out and about, sometimes on the way out shooting or hunting. It all started off at about £1.50 a cup a couple of years ago but on Friday, I was charged £4 for a mediocre Americano from a place I’ve used many times. No more, that’s it for me, I’ve found a guy who runs a greasy spoon and does a Nescafé for £1.50 ️ Can anyone beat that? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 25,987 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Is there anywhere in the UK that does the same as the yanks; pay for one coffee and get free refills ? £4 for a coffee ? Anyone paying that should have their money confiscated as they aren’t in control of their senses ! LOL ! Cheers. 11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know mate. A friends daughter was a waitress at The Outback in Texas, she was telling me that she didn’t get any pay from the company, but she had a block of tables she looked after and employed two busboys , and paid them out of her tips and still made a decent living. People would wait at the bar until one of her tables was available even though there were other waitresses and tables. She reckoned on 30% of the bill for a tip. She tore my bill up and said me and my missus were her guests. I felt bad but we took her and her family out for a meal at the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio….now THAT bill made my eyes water ! LOL ! Cheers, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 10,779 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Coffee is my beverage of choice though i only drink instant . Though my mate has opened an independent Coffee shop in Doncaster and I called in a wile back and had a latte with a slice of carrot cake and I insisted I paid the fiver for it as it can't be easy for the independent Coffee shops with the likes of Costco and such like and I would sooner give my money to independent Coffee shops than the big chain Coffee shops. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
