An £8 sandwich in Starbucks

  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.

      So, the pictured is still a legitimate Starbucks sandwich?

  Still not a high enough price for animal abuse.

    Are the animals humans? And is the abuse the act of eating that sad sandwich? If so, I agree, that is animal abuse.

  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.

    There is no such thing as an "obscene quantity of mayonnaise".

    I too am impressed they managed to not include tomatoe, avocado, bacon, lettuce, or a sauce of any sort, while simultaneously not bothering to interlace the cheese between the meat for a more interesting texture profile.

    It looks like prison food.

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

    As a normal customer with the lowest standard, that actually looks pretty disgusting. Could eat a shoe with some mayo.

      Disgusting? It's a few slices of ham and cheese. It's basic, but you find ham and cheese to be disgusting?

    A little mayo, sure. But not for 8 bucks.

    source
  • Tatters@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Too much ham, no mayo or dressing.

    Youre nuts.

• FluffyPotato@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  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.

  They’re supposed to toast it at least

  source

  • 15liam20@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The fuckers didn’t even put the pieces of bread together.

    source
• BreadOven@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

• Anti_Weeb_Penguin@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I can make that for less than a dollar

• guyrocket@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  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.

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

  A baguette with just that is a war crime

  • yata@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Looks more like a type of ciabatta.

    Ham and cheese plain or buttered on a baguette is a French staple

    source
• menemen@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

  source
• Littleborat@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  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.
