and to mutherfunker , yeah of course i'd like all that, but unfortunately you cant have everything, i'd prefer to pay higher for quality...

also your story about you and son doesnt prove anything.

I dont know if you have worked in the catering industry, but i have for several years and I can tell you for certain that cost does not equal quality. People pay for what they think they are getting, what they actually recieve can sometimes be very different.

Out of curiosity, what does the OP think is a fair price for two slices of toast?

Pique

50c ideally..€1 max (with butter & jam incl.).

I still have my suspicions that O.J. isn't being entirely forthcoming about their connection to Cafe Blend, or else he/she is a complete fanboy.
Considering their previous advert-type statements and then most recently followed up by

cafe blend is the most successful cafe in letterkenny

If by 'successful' then you mean as a result of fleecing customers to the Nth degree and not providing anything except a 'concept' of high quality food/service in a contempory (sic) setting, then yes, you are correct.
If you mean providing high-quality, innovative, exciting, tasty and unique foods at a premium price (which IMO is exactly what LK needs in a Cafe atm) then you are entirely wrong !

Fur Coat & No Knickers sums it up I think. CB is not on it's own here, before anyone thinks this is a personal or directed attack at places mentioned. I just happen to think that you should get what you pay for.

I don't want to pay what the owner (in whatever world they live in) thinks it's worth. I want to pay roughly what I think it's worth. When the 2 match, then I'm happy...as I have been in many diverse eateries.

Id prefer if people would debate the wider issue of "overcharging" rather then 2 of you slogging it out over one particular establishment.

I have let both of you have your say on that point so move on a bit please.

O.J.

i've already tried to move on from this,now pointless discussion, but it seems that Pique can't....

its also obvious that you are directly attacking the particular business ,and therefore i could easlily suggest that you are connected with a rival business in letterkenny...

I just think its sad that you would take pleasure if the business was to close down, since you dont know anything about the people running the company,nor do i, but i'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

so yeah i think we should move on now,you agree?

Oh the irony...

It's obvious I stated TWO examples, not one, attacked neither but highlighted what I see as unreal pricing and 'living in la-la land', and commented on others that i see as better/better value. I can categorically state that I have no connection with a rival business in Letterkenny.

I take pleasure in seeing places that ripped people off in the good times, and got away with it, now being forced to adapt or die, basically.

Yes please

I asked but both O.J. and Pique decided to ignore my request to desist from this tit for tat point scoring and continued on with the unnecessary comments.

Thread locked and you can both have a couple of days off to reflect.
