At least post some original content!
No. Steal the shit out of Reddirt. Idgaf.
I’m just disappointed they didn’t do the proper conversion from USD to GBP. Should only be about £6.50!
And in the UK is actually costs £5.10.
This is just a lie, and people are (ironically) eating it up!
Exactly. A repost is a repost but this guy just Good Will Hunting and “pawned it off as his own”.
People here arent usually on reddit. So its nice to see things crossposted here
No, you could not be more wrong. We did not leave reddit just for the admins, we also hoped to leave low effort posts and outright lies behind, there’s no karma here so what’s even the point of OP?
Also I feel like this is a stealth ad for starbucks, because that doesn’t look half-bad, and now we’re all talking about it
That looks dogshit for £8. What are you on about?
It was $8 bro, or £6.5 in Gentlemen coins.
I’m hungry and that looks like a generous amount of protein on a toothsome ciabatta, but fuck me I guess
It all comes in frozen solid, so their food isn’t very good.
My guy…
Who cares? Aren’t most memes posted on here coming from other places? Nothing wrong with showcasing content from across the Internet.
Welcome to Lemmy/Reddit. Reposts are lazy and low effort. If it didn’t happen to you, why are you posting it? You don’t even get karma on Lemmy.
That crazy part he did it for no reason. I am so glad to not be chasing karma no more. Unfortunately I still will go back here in Lemmy and see all my posts and comments see how they are doing.
Didn’t realize just how addictive I was to those stupid upvotes.
Memes are fun. That a reason to post them. Karma is a reflection of people enjoying what you post.
I started deleting my reddit account and creating a new one every year because I found myself becoming too involved with my karma level. Fuck that
I never would have seen this without the “repost”. I don’t get why people are so offended about seeing something again. Don’t like it? Saw it before? Keep scrolling then.
Don’t you?
Not aggregate in the official lemmy webui, but some apps have chosen to add it up.
What’s the URL, sorry I’m new to Lemmy. Is it Lemmy.World?
I’m not sure what you’re asking? By the webui I just mean the default web interface of any lemmy instance (i.e. not through an alternative frontend or app)
Thank you. I’m with you now. I just migrated over because I used Boost on Reddit and received a notification Boost was now available on this new platform 👍
Because they want attention
But this is a downright lie. It costs £5.10…
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!
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.
Fact. Baguettes are awesome.
£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
Starbucks is a union busting piece of shit organization, regardless of their piece of shit food, fuck Starbucks.
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.
Don’t forget the chit-chat and the greetings. That itself is £7.
Sandwiches are complicated. They should cost like £100!

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
Why do people still give them money?
I get the sentiment, but most places don’t have even halfway decent coffee shops. Everyone gives starbucks shit (rightfully so), but the fact is if you walk into a random cafe in America, it will most likely be inferior to starbucks. The level of quality in American coffee is just abysmal. And if you’re traveling, you won’t know if the cafe you take a chance on is a hidden gem (spoiler, it never is). I was in Austin one time and I found this hipster place that had great reviews on google. The interior was really nice, nice place to work, spacious, etc. The coffee tasted like dog water. It wasn’t mediocre, it was trash. I’m sure Austin has great cafes, but unless you live there how will you know? Starbucks is a consistent mediocre coffee.
Reviews are a bit of a shit show with everyone being used to Starbucks as the “standard” now. I still give the local places a shot when I travel. I find them rarely worse than Starbucks for a latte and quiet often better. Plus, you know not giving money to Starbucks and their horrible anti-union leadership…
I guess living in Seattle has spoiled me.
The coffee may suck but the whisky is great!
this is the kind of sandwich i make while hungover, take one bite, and then go “oh god i forgot the mayo”
Ew, mayonnaise?
Mayo is so delicious
Reminds me of Weird Al Yankovich’s masterpiece “White and Nerdy”.
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.
What is a cheese end? The end of the block of cheese that is sliced off?
Ham ends too, what are these terms?
Canadian, probably? Niagara is on the usa/Canadian border
Grocery stores sometimes sell packs of mixed cheeses and deli meats from the ends or trims.
That’s a great idea and I would like to see it here, but America has no real laws preventing billions of dollars of food waste, so companies never do anything like this.
Shoprite here in Pennsylvania does that all the time. TBF the shit is nasty and still costs about as much per pound as proper deli meats and cheeses.
We were at Niagara Falls earlier this year and we did the same thing. Food prices there are insane.
$10 for a slice of pizza? And you paid it? What in the world? No wonder food prices keep going up.
No they keep going up cause we have shitty governments who side with corporations and don’t give a shit about us
Tourist hot spots are insane. I was having a cup of coffee in a small cafe at St. Mark’s Square in Venice and it was 6.50€ for the coffee and a 12€ cover charge. Rip-off.

It’s actually 2 slices of meat cut in half.
It actually does appear to be 4 full slices folded over
Oh, you’re probably right. I’m on a phone screen.
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.
FWIW most of those Starbucks drinks have more calories than your entire meal. So from a purely energetics standpoint they’re winning.
This is not a sandwich.
Maybe they should call it “Ceci n’est pas une sandwich” and charge £12 instead.
The Treachery of Starbucks
It’s a song!
NO IT’S A SANDWICH
What would make you think otherwise?
It’s my wife! millions of boomers laughing
This is sandwich, but not for 8£ maybe 20 whatever they use in UK I’ll just say cents or even less than that
No, it’s just bread and cheese and ham.
The most popular sandwich in France is the Jambon-Beurre, which is just butter and ham
I’d call that buttered ham. A sandwich requires bread!
I see no butter or similiar here.
And it cost less than half of this one at Montparnasse and is much nicer

two slices of bread + something inbetween = sandwich
How about a folded piece of bread with stuff in the middle. Is that a sandwich?
How about a sub.
How about a taco… is a taco a sandwich?
no, and neither is a hot dog, wrap, burger, baguette nor a bagel
A sub is definitely a sandwich.
You don’t buy Starbucks food for the value. You do it cause there’s one on the way to work/school.
