£5.1 is slightly less but stil outrageous for £0.30 of food
Comment on An £8 sandwich in Starbucks

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 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 right now so this will get hundreds of upvotes despite being a lie.

£0.30 of food
how cheap is food on the other side of the channel?!
thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 8 months ago
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

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)

When it’s a day old, you can definitely beat someone with a baguette.

Hence, “pain”.

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
Globulart@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.

Fact. Baguettes are awesome.
