I hate to say it, but first world problems. It costs a fraction of what it should cost to produce the item of clothing. Or just capitalism.

Aren't British Problems first world problems by definition? Considering the sort of thing we post on here, or on the equivalent forum on The Site That Shall Not Be Named. I can't imagine, for example, many Syrians being bothered by the fact that their local Greggs has run out of vegan sausage rolls.

Considering they'd be handless if they eat normal sausage rolls (pork), they probably would be a bit miffed about that
