Comment on Think $5.50 is too much for a flat white? Actually it’s too cheap, and our world-famous cafes are paying the price

  If comparison against average monthly wage is your benchmark, it's still proportionately cheaper in Australia with average monthly wage being $6,201.43 (i.e., >50% of $11,000, whereas the coffee price is <50% of $10.16).

  Average wages here are also higher than the majority of the countries above us on the average-coffee-price chart.

  I don’t trust the article.

  I recall having coffee and croissant in A Salzburg historic courtyard cafe for half the price of one in a shitty Aussie suburban location.

    You don’t trust average price data because of a personal anecdote? Very strange take.

      It is my own direct evidence, not someone else’s anecdote.

        Your “direct evidence” is literally an anecdote lol
