See this link for the video of the guy - comes out with all the big company BS about we've listened to our customers etc

I hope this campaign of boycotting them takes off. It won't affect me as I'm not mug enough to pay £3 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks, Costa Lot, Nero's etc
You're quite right Dedworth

Actually, I will never pay that kind of money for a cup of coffee. Mine is better

I might pay that for a super quality beer, but that's a different proposition

I would suggest that it costs only pence to produce a cup of coffee

My dear wife talked me into having a Starbucks coffee in MOA the other week. I somehow agreed to pay and was stunned at the price

Oddly, it was difficult to find a seat
