  • I see no problem with closing somewhere early based on the evidence the store has, rather than "potentially staying open to give away a free coffee".

    I don't wear much Rapha though.

  • Brand experience is part of what you pay for- both the clothing and the RCC membership. Shutting at 4.30 is a false economy if it dilutes said brand experience- staying open for the RCC people who want their free coffee is absolutely what they should do, it’s a luxury brand not a greasy spoon.

    If the shop is too quiet then shut it- don’t bugger up the customer experience by half arsing it.

    Anyway, I doubt they’ll go bust today, but if they don’t clear out the current management they’ll have to go through this again.

  • RCC membership is £135 and no longer has a size cap. It's not Soho House.

  • A lot of the more modern/hip independent cafes out in the provinces now open 7am-4pm. It’s a thing now.

    I like coffee at 10pm but that’s not UK normal.
