I'd just like to point out that OP is either lying or has been scammed.
Starbucks have consistent pricing and the most expensive sandwich in the UK is £5.10, technically 5.25 for a plant based breakfast item, see here for full menu prices.
But people like getting angry at cost of living issues right now (understandably) so this will get hundreds of upvotes despite being a lie.
Lying. They reposted from a Reddit post that shows an eight dollar Starbucks sandwich.
Still a stupid price for a crap sandwich. As I said in another reply, come to France and you will get the same thing for half the price. However, it will be nice (can you beat french bread? I think not)
can you beat french bread
When it's a day old, you can definitely beat someone with a baguette.
Hence, "pain".
Damn you, have my upvote!
Well that depends on the baguette. A cheap baguette moulée I agree. A nice tradition will be take around 72 hours to mature to the point it can successfully be used for violence.
I would say french bread is a close second to german bread. But I might be biased, being german and all lol
As an English person, a simple white cottage loaf cannot be beat.
But I also love French and German breads.
Fucking hell I love bread.
Wars have been fought for less.
In fact, it would not surprise me if an argument about bread was a factor in WW1.
£5.1 is slightly less but stil outrageous for £0.30 of food
£0.30 of food
how cheap is food on the other side of the channel?!
Maybe more than in the UK, but here in a supermarket that would be 0.20€ of ham, 0.10€ of chese and 0.30€ of bread. Considering the volume starbucks has, I don't think it's unreasonable they would pay half of what you pay in a supermarket.
Of course these numbers I'm all taking our of my ass, but I think they are a close estimate. There's a reason if Starbucks is so profitable
And they served it to you on a Dixie paper plate? I call bullshit but idk why I'm even posting here because you just reposted this in pounds instead of dollars LOL
Dont buy food in a shitty ciffee shop.. lol
At least post some original content!
No. Steal the shit out of Reddirt. Idgaf.
Just slap a label on it like with artisan bread and any hipster out there will grab it up yum.....
This is not a sandwich.
Maybe they should call it "Ceci n'est pas une sandwich" and charge £12 instead.
The Treachery of Starbucks
You don't buy Starbucks food for the value. You do it cause there's one on the way to work/school.
You literally bought it, stfu
Because in Starbucks, you get to look at the sandwich before you buy it... oh wait that's not right.
Wait, is this real? No way.... I make better sandwiches in the 2 minutes time that I'm late for work.
No, it's not.
This is a £5.10 item in the UK, the pic is taken from a reddit post complaining about spending 8 dollars in the US. Which is still a lot but not £8.
That's twice as much cheese & ham as the ones in the U. S., which cost about the same.
I mean you could see what was on it before you bought it, that's on you dog. All you did was prove people will pay that much for a shit sandwich.
The sandwich itself ain't that bad. I would like some sauce/oil/whatever wet but apart from that looks ok. The issue is the price...
It’s your own damn fault for trying to get food at fucking Starbucks, the coffee isn’t even good unless you’re at pikes place
Yeah, support a local sandwich shop.
Probably won't be much cheaper but it'll be ten times the quality.
I've been to a Starbucks once in my life and that was in August of 2012. I have never been back since I never plan to go back. I absolutely do not understand the appeal.
It brings that consistent Seattle blandness everywhere it goes.
Neal Stephenson said it best in Snow Crash :
"In olden times, you’d wander down to Mom’s Café for a bite to eat and a cup of joe, and you would feel right at home. It worked just fine if you never left your hometown. But if you went to the next town over, everyone would look up and stare at you when you came in the door, and the Blue Plate Special would be something you didn’t recognize. If you did enough traveling, you’d never feel at home anywhere.
But when a businessman from New Jersey goes to Dubuque, he knows he can walk into a McDonald’s and no one will stare at him. He can order without having to look at the menu, and the food will always taste the same. McDonald’s is Home, condensed into a three-ringed binder and xeroxed. “No surprises” is the motto of the franchise ghetto, its Good Housekeeping seal, subliminally blazoned on every sign and logo that make up the curves and grids of light that outline the Basin.
The people of America, who live in the world’s most surprising and terrible country, take comfort in that motto."
My main reason to go to McDonalds on a business trip is, that you can eat there on your own without looking lonely.
Snow Crash is one of the greatest books ever written.
It is consistent, has bathrooms, and they don't bother you if you sit there for a while. I have been avoiding them but you asked and I answered.
That's like $13 up here in Canada. But I'd assume they have the same sandwiches here. But wow, that's outrageous.
Crime!
this is the kind of sandwich i make while hungover, take one bite, and then go "oh god i forgot the mayo"
