An £8 sandwich in Starbucks

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

At least post some original content!

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.

Starbucks is a union busting piece of shit organization, regardless of their piece of shit food, fuck Starbucks.

I've clearly eaten too many lunches from food vendors (including SB) inside convention centers because I expected see maybe 2 slices of ham and 1 of cheese for $8 (in 2023 money). And maybe a lettuce leaf that is probably a recycled hot coffee sleeve dyed green.

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.

You're paying extra for the love they put into it.

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

Wow. The fyre festival sandwich at least came with a salad.

Why do people still give them money?

Dont buy food in a shitty ciffee shop.. lol

this is the kind of sandwich i make while hungover, take one bite, and then go "oh god i forgot the mayo"

Just slap a label on it like with artisan bread and any hipster out there will grab it up yum.....

I went to Niagara falls the other day and they were selling $10 pizza slices, my wife got one. I went to the grocery store across the street, bought a large roll from the fresh baked ones. Got cheese ends and ham ends at the deli aisle, and grabbed salad cup. It cost me about $8 but I got a much better, massive sandwich compared to what my wife ate.

This is not a sandwich.

You don't buy Starbucks food for the value. You do it cause there's one on the way to work/school.

People giving money to Starbucks only tells them they can continue to charge what they want. I've never been a customer because coffee gives me the shits, but I'm constantly amazed to hear what people are willing to pay for a single beverage. Most Starbucks drinkers pay what I would pay for an entire meal drink included for their one drink.

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.

You literally bought it, stfu

That's $9.77 in Freedom Dollars.

This is making the $7 footlongs at Walmart seem like a super great value.

They're supposed to toast it at least

If you lived in LA, this would be a £12 sandwich. the sandwich economy here is out of control.

The parts I like are the attention to detail on the size of the bread being perfectly rectangular, the cheese slices being perfectly equally sized, and the consistently overlapping slices of ham that span the exact length of the bread. Then that all combines to form a shitty looking sandwich. Perfectly optimized sandwich designed by accountants.

"Have a day." - Starbucks

Now that's something to give you a big ol' case of the fuck yous.

That's twice as much cheese & ham as the ones in the U. S., which cost about the same.

Wait, is this real? No way.... I make better sandwiches in the 2 minutes time that I'm late for work.

Weigh it again!

Jk

That's genuinely shocking.

"Yes, go fuck yourself in your fucking face."

I'm still firmly of the belief that if you're going to be having a cold sandwich for lunch than it should've been in your backpack and you should expect nothing but disappointment if you have somebody else make it.

Bought a cold sandwich at a quick-service place in England.

There's your problem. This one has a certain appeal, though. I'd pay eight pounds just to be spared the usual pile of cucumber slices, old egg, and obscene quantity of mayonnaise.

That's like $13 up here in Canada. But I'd assume they have the same sandwiches here. But wow, that's outrageous.

Crime!

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...

Don't they make the sandwiches to your specification in the UK?

Edit: I'm stupid, I read that as Subway.

I can make that for less than a dollar

I paid 6$ CAD for brie and ham with pepper jelly from the grocery store

A whole bread, a block of cheese and a ham is not even 8 bucks. Just make a sandwich at home, it takes like a minute.

I could make that for 80c but I won't because it looks gross.

Sandwiches made from garbage out of the supermarket dumpster look a lot better than this.

Enough meat, one slice too little of cheese. But why is there no butter nor salad on it?

The last time I bought a latte at a coffee shop it cost about as much as a POUND of coffee beans from Costco.

Stop. The. Insanity.

A baguette with just that is a war crime

Still not a high enough price for animal abuse.

You're a union hating boot licking nazi cop if you support starbucks

As a supertaster and inveterate picky eater, that actually looks pretty good. Could use some mayo and/or mustard though.
