Sometimes I just get a single espresso. That's around two pounds, one pound at McDonald's.

I've never understood why people go to coffee shops.

If I want a coffe, I'll have it in my house.

Same with a burger. Cook it in the house and enjoy it in the house.

I often think many people are brainwashed into doing what others do.

Agree. I hate coffee shops and McDonald's makes me want to kill myself.

It's like with beer. You could have a can at home for a quid or pay Ł4/Ł5 to drink it in a pub. You're getting ripped off in the pub but the ambience is better and the product is slightly better. Same thing applies to cafes

I take a flask of coffee to work, have done for years. Coffee shops don't interest me in the slightest.

Yeah you can't beat it. It's first job for me in the mornings. Or when we go fishing, getting all set up, casting out then sitting back and relaxing with a nice flask of coffee.

I’d still rather have a Costa than a Nescafé. But yeah. Inflation is disgusting.

There's nothing wrong with scamming people.

I know that it's inflation really.

It's people being lazy more than following the herd, in this particular scenario.

Plus McDonald's and Burger King do nice food, despite what some "sophisticated" and "hip" people want to say.
