They May Raise Our Coffee Prices, But They’ll Never Take Our Freedom

by Matt Powers

To the fat cats over at Bridge Fresh market,

According to your sign, coffee prices increased 13%, and yet the price of your small coffee jumped 25% and your large coffee 20%. Stop hiding behind your graphs — you are greedy opportunists looking to fleece the working man at every turn. If you want to jack the price of your coffee, just do it without your Machiavellian logic. Look me in the eye when you take my quarter. I don’t want your “Sorry!”s. I want your recognition that you know exactly what you are doing. You are cowards.

Sincerely,
The Consumer
