Maybe some of their Customers should just stay home and have Folgers or Maxwell House and Save Up for Retirement - instead of Buying Status Symbols of Overpriced Coffee, - Oh yes, no need to worry about your Future!
With $5.00 - $8.00 for a Cup of Coffee, Teas, or Specialty Drink and a $$ Tip, people are spending several Hundred of Dollars a Year on these Status Symbol Coffees alone.
Every Financial Guru will tell you the same - Make it at Home and Save the Difference for a Rainy Day.
I forgot we also have 2 tea shops. Add that to the 6 coffee shops and a beef-a-roo that is going to compete with Arby’s. City planning at its finest. We also have nine different banks, and more locations. 2 Chinese places, 20 Mexican restaurants 🤣 2 donut shops. 2 family restaurants. Has anyone in Carthage had an original idea? I dare to count how many insurance companies we have.
Small Business are Great - and do create jobs. The Big Problem is Restaurants, Coffee, Tea Shops, etc., have a very high rate of Failure. With Manufacturing Jobs continually headed Off-Shore, we are becoming a country of quick wine and dine - instead of eating at home around a table our prevenance has become the drive-thru. The majority of our products are created and manufactured overseas and imported into the United States. We are becoming just distributors and users of someone else's imported goods.
Just what we need 6 coffee shops.
