Troy Alstead, Starbucks' global chief financial officer, claimed that the firm has lost money in the 15 years it has been operating in the UK except in 2006.
But despite their abject failure to run a profitable company, Starbucks has continued to supply the coffee drinkers of the UK.
It is only by the goodness of their hearts that they remain in the UK, selling coffee.
Oh ... wait.
