    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.
