If your going to lose money you don't open up. My point is that you don't raise prices because you have less customers. Raising prices usually leads to guess what? Even less customers. Obviously there's is some optimal price that maximizes your profit. Basic economics. Based on the post I replied to I'm going to assume he just lost a customer.
I'm not thankful for coffee shops staying open at higher prices.
You can be thankful all you want.
I will be thankful when a coffee shop opens up and gives me coffee for free. They will have all my thanks.
Until then I will go to a coffee shop and see the prices and if it's too expensive I will leave. It's a business transaction. These business aren't my friends.

Be happy some are still opening up. Predictions are half of the businesses will be closing up or bankrupting soon.
Perhaps some opportunistic western can pick up a place cheap and charge 30% less?

I asked "how many have you sold in last 6 months".
She replied "none sir".
I asked " so why increase prices as you sold none and will have less chance if you increase prices, why not drop prices".
Her reply " because this is policy sir".
I never did come back despite me wanting to enjoy her other skills LOL.

Shop assistant: Yes sir. Corona virus sir. No customers.
I almost said "Cancel the order; this is ridiculous", but I paid and stayed. They just lost me as a customer. What's the logic in such a move? (it's a rhetorical question. Please don't respond).

Thank you Paul.
A dalliance with a Filipino in Brizzo could be quite the go.
I'll check Brisbane forum and let you know.
