JSin is pursuing his white whale, the legendary giant black dick that has tortured JSin's mind by waving around in his thoughts and appearing like a mirage just out of reach.

You're not a homo are you?

Not that ..... Embarrassed

He is.
He's even upset that I'm not the White Guy who thinks he's pretty 'fly' for the Black girls.
Not my fault that Bantu babes liked my Ivory. Wink

another sad story from JSin's imagination in his perpetual search for his white whale ... the giant black dick that haunts JSin's mind and the enticing figment that waves in front of him just out of reach like a mirage.

Don't give up JSin.

You can't stop talking about dicks - you must be a homo.

Not that ..... Embarrassed

JSin's quest is never ending.

Perehaps he should change his objective and just find a man called Dick Black and satisfy himself with a union.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Unless someone else is paying the bill, you have the option of walking out. If you can't afford it, let the proprietor know. Walk out. Or I guess, pay up and blame the government

Well yes, labor cost is a factor. But it's been tied to inflation for donkey's years.

The main reason cafe prices are so expensive, is rental property cost. Cafes are generally on rental property, and property near railway stations or near/in malls, has become much more expensive to rent. Far more so than private property which isn't so well positioned (and the private property near transport hubs or retail, is also expensive but usually sold outright rather than rented.)

Long story cut short: cafes have to pay more rent, it's why their prices have increased.

That’s exactly right.
But I’m going to say… since being overseas a month… prices from England and Europe are a heck of a lot more expensive … but maybe because our Australian dollar is worth practically half the value?

Pizza for instance in London… we can pay up to $16 here in OZ…. There it is £19 which is equivalent to $40 Australian!
And….we get a bottle of water with glasses complimentary here when we dine out… overseas there’s no such free service.
Coffee was $5 euro which is equivalent to $8.50 AU
Ice cream $6 eu = $9.10 au Shocked

All I was doing all the time was calculating in my head what it really cost us!
I hardly had coffee or ice cream! Embarrassed
