Dear Over Priced Coffee shops,

Why are you so expensive? I can make my store bought coffee for cheap.

Why do you charge me six dollars for one cup. I have to take out my wallet and dig deep.

I love the convenience of someone making coffee for me, but not the price I have to pay.

If you do not lower the price, I'll keep making my own store bought coffee because I cannot afford to pay. And until I save up a fortune for your expensive convenient brew, it will just have to stay that way.

I wish I had the money to buy your expensive and delicious Cappuccino's, Latte's, espresso's and Americano's and other java's every day. Sadly at your prices, there is just no way.

I'll have to report you to the International Coffee Organization, also known as the ICO. They'll also tell you your prices really blow.

If that doesn't work, there's a lot of people who feel like me. We will all stop buying your overpriced mud and start making our own coffee.

Please lower your daily coffee price. That would be very nice. If we are forced to protest, we will be as cold as ice.

Thank you for acknowledging our price request, we told you we are concerned. If the price of coffee is lowered, then the lesson you have learned.

Sincerely,

Your best customer, Alex.
