#2 Ori Feibush is not Bezos. Can't afford to throw away 77 million a year on a hobby.

#4 "rising costs and reduced sales"
There's no situation so bad that you can't make it worse if you try.
"This does feel like retaliation."
No, you just priced yourself out of the market, Bubba.

#5 People who will pay $10-15 for a cup of coffee are economically illiterate also.

#6 Looking at the menu, I don't think the target clientele has to be economically literate.

What I see, is local businessman entrepreneur defeats Starbuck's three times, just to be undercut by retarded children.

That part of the decision was difficult; the numbers part was easy.

Now instead of working for a trendy local cafe, they will now work for corporate who has the resources to tell your local worker's club to piss off, and will open its doors to the walking homeless and they will be picking needles out of the toilet.

#7 They called his bluff. He wasn't bluffing.

#8 Looking at the menu, at the ambiance, the neighborhood, OCF wasn't selling coffee or sandwiches, but an experience. So even though each and every one of these chucklehead employees could be replaced by a machine right down to the custom picture on the top of their coffee and without the drama, that doesn't work for the experience. Conversely, can't sell three slices of French Toast for $40 no matter how fancy the lads are.

But these loser children wanted their coffee making and table clearing to be lifelong sustainable careers they broke something nice, and Ori was smart enough to not play footsie with some social media crap and try to drag along for three months losing his ass, waiting for that massive social media commitment to patronize the stores in support of the crybullies, which never comes.

I hope he sells to Panera, and Panera starts bussing in the walking homeless for free meals and a photo op which gets all of corporate nodding their heads in approval as a photo inside the end of year report, while the walking homeless set up camp in the fancy lad neighborhoods, and this former barista works there and now has to clean crap off of the bathroom ceiling, as soon as the junkie in there gets narconed and removed.

#9 The workers won’t get 40K - 50K per year from the competition. That’s for sure.

#11 Commenter at ZH states "Turns out trying to extort the person paying your salary isn't the best way to go about making sure a business is successful."
