    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.

    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.

    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."

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