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.
To be honest it isn’t my benchmark, I was just adding that to the context in the same way I could have added any other differential circumstance: my point is that it’s more complicated than what the article says.
And that it’s probably less about “someone think about the baristas” and more about the benefits, but that’s another story.
Lol please don’t be a dick lol on here LMAO it isn’t Reddit ROFL
Yes it is an anecdote for you and everyone else. But for me it is direct evidence because it happened to me. Yes only a sample size of one but it is not an outlier, locals told me it is normal.
Just for a bit of perspective: the average monthly salary in Switzerland is around $11000 so maybe $10 for a flat white is more affordable.

I don’t trust the article.
I recall having coffee and croissant in a Salzburg historic courtyard cafe for cheaper than 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. TBF Salzburg is in Austria which the article doesn’t mention.
Your “direct evidence” is literally an anecdote lol
