The Mythology of the Fast Food Chains??????????

Question

I howl with laughter every time I go into one of these places which charge £3 for a cuppa and see some yob, prob on the dole, drinking his java like a lord in his manor.

I can remember when I could eat like a queen in some little old London tea room back in the 1960s....the kind of tea room which was privately owned and where the owners couldn`t do enough for you.

But mythology sells. And if some drinking coffee in some overpriced cafe gives a yob the idea he is a king...I guess it`s cheap at the price.

Yours trully,

Answer 1

Sandra, I agree wholeheartedly with you! It it weren't such a silly thing to see is the sad idea that those who buy into the myth wind up never accumulating anything in life. They are too busy trying to keep up appearances and indeed think they are lords and ladies in some globalised fakedom.
Back in my first uni days someone pointed out how much cheaper it would be to take a plowman's lunch with a vacuum canteen of tea or other drink.
I have probably saved thousands in exchange for a wee bit of time preparing things at home.
