Here’s a quick tip to make easy money. Get some of the delicious treats from Le Gustav, preferably their heavenly good cake balls, start selling them for more than double the original price at your shop and enjoy the profit!
Shu we2fit 3leik? Second Cup Hamra is doing the exact same thing and getting away with it! Check more about this scam here on Beirutista.
i think second cup hamra has a deal with them… plus the cake balls sold at second cup are (slightly) bigger than the ones sold at gustav so may justify some of the extra cost (and implies a deal)
other incidents i don’t know.
and btw, this is basic capitalism.
The gustave cakes are yummy at any price
The language you use “getting away with it” makes it sound like its a crime. It’s not. It’s their right to sell it for as much as they want. You have the right not to buy any.
Yeah – I had asked them about that. Apparently the SC cakeballs are 1.5x the size of a regular Gustav one…but, of course, the price is more than 1.5x 🙂
While price–an exorbitant one at that–is certainly one issue, it’s Second Cup’s underhand selling strategy that really disturbs me. Let the consumer decide whether s/he wants to be robbed!
