WHAT ABOUT €11 EUROS FOR 2 CUPS OF COFFEE ON PAPHOS HARBOR?

Was the price of 5.50 for a coffee displayed, as required by law? If so, why do people patronise these places when other establishments charge reasonable prices?

If they did, or they have a menu, it's your own fault buddy. If they didn't, I wouldn't have paid and wouldn't have drunk it!

There was a great little cheap eatery run by a Cypriot couple tucked away in the side streets near the municipal market in Limassol. The food was brilliant and they always had a few Cyprus special dishes available - true Cypriot home cooking as far as I am concerned. They also used to serve teas, coffees or beers. The prices were extremely reasonable. Yet, they went out of business this spring. Why can't people, instead of endlessly bitching about having paid extortionate prices, vote with their wallets and take their business to places that give good service at fair prices? This is how the market is supposed to work. Or are most people masochists at heart?

Perhaps we should start a thread on its own along the lines of CF Best Value Eateries with real prices from members to encourage these sorts of establishments .... and perhaps a rip-off prices thread as well.

Name and Praise ... and ... Name and Shame

Tim you might have a point there. The more I deal with consumers, as a consumer adviser of sorts, the more your statement sounds right. People have an inner need to be ripped off.
