Riyadh Family-only Coffeeshop Says NO To Families

Published on June 12, 2010 by in Coffee Shops in Riyadh

I talked about CaZa Cafe before, we were in a quick Mac user group meeting and there was a football game on the screen. We didn’t watch the game but we were charged %30 “tax” for something we never agreed to. Apparently that activity is illegal but no one cares.

CaZa Cafe switched their target market to “Families” from “Singles” over a year ago. I thought they will fail just like Joffrey’s Coffee who closed their Tahliah St branch months after a switch to families.

A few weeks ago CaZa Cafe decided to ban families. So they hanged these posters, sign said “Dear customers, we are now only accepting singles now”. They also hanged some world cup posters.

So the management of CaZa Cafe decided that they will have better profits by charging people “%30 world cup tax” for merely staying there during a World Cup game.

Please remember that this is legally questionable. If a coffee shop suddenly asks you to pay extra and they never disclose it then I urge you to refuse to pay them that extra amount!

    They just switched to singles to capitalize on the World Cup. You know they will switch back come July 12.

    They shouldn’t. they already capitalized on families. Also this “service tax” is questionable.

    The money they will get from the WC is much more though…men will be watching the WC all month long, expect a drop in men going out with families

    Is the extra charge on the menu before you order? What’s wrong with changing from families to singles?

    I honestly don’t understand the problem dude sorry.

    The extra charge was not on the menu. And you will be asked to pay it even if you don’t watch the match, the mere presence of you while the game is there = pay up.

    Again, not disclosed on the menu/poster/etc.

    There is nothing wrong in changing from family. I just found it funny ;) .
