Recently, the owner of a Melbourne coffee shop was very upset because his competitor had opened a shop at home!
Joe is the owner of a Melbourne coffee shop, but just recently, he found a woman across the street who opened a coffee shop in his home.
Aida, the owner of the rival store, used to run a family salon, but Joe thought it crossed the line when she started providing food to her guests.
Because Aida provides both salon service and catering service, which one-stop service comes down, and there is a coffee shop across the street. What's the matter?
So Joe and her girlfriend Whitney both felt cheated because government in Casey approved Aida's store and granted her a license to sell coffee and food at home.
Whitney used to look for Aida theory, but Aida thinks he didn't do anything wrong.
"the council is trying to kill us," Joe said. "how can they do that? those who approve this should be fired!"
Joe thinks he doesn't mind if he's playing fair with another store. But he and his girlfriend have spent nearly four years early and late to make up for the heavy expenses because the store is expensive.
Aida's Val's Coffee and Desserts, on the other hand, can avoid a lot of money by operating at home.
They worry that Aida has slashed prices for things, such as Aida's ham and cheese sandwiches and coffee, which are only A $5, half the price of Joes Java.
Joe feels that once this happens, it will be difficult for his coffee shop to continue to operate.
The coffee shop business is basically the backbone of Joe's life, and if something goes wrong, he is likely to collapse.
Finally, Joe said, "if everyone has a store in their own house, what else does the mall do?"
It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong in this situation, do we think?
