- How patriotic were you today

Today I learned from my Swiss friend that in the UK they keep the same "visual" price on coffee at places like starbucks. Here, a coffee is $3.10, for instance. There, it's still between 2.50 and 3.50 -- pounds though. I was shocked! You're talking about capitalism and "massively profitable franchises." There, they make about 6 - 7 dollars on a single cup of coffee.

(walks away sheepishly because I'm sure you already knew that..)

I didn't, actually. I just knew that Starbucks hasn't been well received abroad and has all but failed in the Australian market.
