I doubt a price collapse will happen in the coffee shop world.

My bet would be on a price stagnation with a slow strangulation.

That local guy I was talking about, He used to have a line out the door every morning, now it's 4-5 at a time and not continously. I put it down to a slippage in the level of service. Used to be they would get the orders in and deliver to the table. Now they can't seem to fill more than one mug at a time, and you wait in line till you are served.
