The Giant Coffee Company
is closing down 500 of its store across
the UNITED STATES due to HIGH Gas Prices.
and another one here...
12,000 BARISTAS would soon lose their job...
========================================================
In the U.S., a cup of STARBUCKS COFFEE costs about $4.00
(that would be around 180 Pesos)
Here in the PHILIPPINES, a cup of STARBUCKS COFFEE
costs to around 110-150 PESOS.
If their reason for shutting down the stores in the U.S
is because of HIGH GAS Prices,
that would mean they charge an extra
30 PESOS for a COFFEE with KEROSENE or UNLEADED...
LOL!!!
I wonder what it taste...
IMAGINE your favorite Starbucks Barista shouting
"One CARAMEL MACCHIATO with DIESEL for Aira"
Harhar... !!! LOL!!!
===================================================================
But on the serious note, I guess its KARMA for the coffee company.
They have a lot of controversies in the past. To name a few:
First,
"Anti-Competitive TACTICS"
...its their attempt to drive out
small and independent coffee companies.
Second,
"Fair Trade in the Coffee Bean Market"
...they play MONOPOLY while drinking COFFEE. LOL.
...and as a result of all these SELFISH acts, LOOK what is happening now on your business...
Even here in the PHILIPPINES,
GAS PRICE INCREASE
has been affecting
all commodities available in the market.
and SOON, maybe your
FAVORITE COFFEE CHAIN
slash
HANG OUT PLACE
at your
FAVORITE MALL
would also do the same move
...
It's the same thing happening in our country...
the GOVERNMENT doesn't have control
over those
weekly INCREASE of GAS PRICES
because our local
OIL COMPANIES
import those raw materials
from the INTERNATIONAL MARKET
which is also facing their own crisis right now.
They say it's caused by the US economic recession
...but whatever it is...
it's just something
UNCONTROLLABLE.
