Starbucks closes 3/4s of it's stores in Aus

[Husar]

BAH!

The fair trade brands are not more expensive than others. Also, the cost of a cup of coffee for the seller is like a cent or two. And they charge you 3 dollars for it. Whether they charge me 5 bucks or just one doesn't affect the coffee farmer.

We charge 1.50EUR for a cup of coffee where I work, consider that you get free sugar, milk etc. vand the coffee machine we have has to be paid for as well, that thing wasn't cheap, and then add that I want to get paid for working there, the taxes etc., the gas/fuel itself doesn't cover a lot anymore nowadays and shops like starbucks have to pay almost everything from selling coffee.
