Or the lady of the hour?

For every rich city there has to be poor people. How else are they going to get served at the Cafe. And those people have to live in the same city as the rich.

I know a Swiss woman that lives in Canada now. She went back to Luzern to visit her family. While shopping with her mother, aunt and sister they decided to stop and have a rest. She invited them to have a soft drink at a restaurant forgetting the price difference from Canada to Switzerland. The four Cokes cost her over $40 CDN.

Four cokes at the grocery store costs 40 cents if you buy a big bottle and pour four glasses. So 100 times markup.

You have to take many things into consideration. If the wages are higher, then the taxes are higher. The server gets higher than Canadian wages. Is there a Coke bottler in Switzerland or is that Coke imported and duties and taxes paid on the product?

I remember back-packing through Europe in the mid 80's. I only stayed in Geneva for two nights and even then it was a blow to my $25/day budget. By far the most expensive city I visited in those 4 months.

The Swiss have always been an expensive country. There is no minimum wage standard, employee and employer decide at hiring day. When I was there McDonalds Big Mac combo was 5.00 CDN here and over there 8.00 CDN.

While there I didn't see a single beggar on the street.

Yes, I was in Zurich briefly around that time and it was very expensive. There was also something going on with coloured cement lions scattered around the city. Not sure what that was about.
