McDonald’s is cheaper and just for the Monopoly month I can’t stop eating it.
I got 6 free mcnugget tickets so far and never ending free mcflurries and drinks. Im gonna need a huge diet after next month 😡
‘The “posh cheddar and pickle” baguette was on sale at the High Street Kensington branch of the sandwich chain giant, in west London – for a whopping £7.15.’
Saved you all a click and cookie request.
And yet, every pret I walk past in London is packed at lunchtime.
If the customers are happy to pay the prices then it’s not a rip-off
What the headline doesn’t convey is the response from Pret, part of the cost is £1.20 VAT because it’s eat in and not takeaway.
> A spokesperson for Pret said: “Prices of our products are typically higher at train stations or transport hubs, due to higher operational costs, and like all food-to-go retailers, dine in prices are subject to 20 per cent VAT, as is the case with the price quoted here for our Posh Cheddar Baguette.
The solution is simple, buy the ingredients in your local store and make it yourself…
Wait till they try to buy a baguette at an airport here.
WHO WILL MAKE MY COFFEE AND SANDWICHES AT PRET IF ALL THE IMMIGRANTS ARE GONE??
£5.99 on Just Eat for me. Not too bad tbh. The only problem is that they have a tendency to deliver the completely wrong item, and Just Eat are getting funny with refunds for that sort of thing, so I can’t go there any more.
I hate how Pret have homogenised every street in London, can literally walk 30 seconds and find another one.
5-a-day pisswater coffee, lovely.
The way prices are going round here, it’ll probably cost about that to make it yourself soon.
Greggs far superior to pret, had one of these at a pret in Stratford, tasted like cardboard. Prets sausage rolls are a disgrace also.
There are too many of these types of places so I’m glad we don’t have a pret in my town, it wouldn’t last long if they tried blatantly ripping off customers with price fit for a billionaire then again I am up north. We only have to deal with a little southern madness now and then.
I’m fairly sure there was a Basil Brush episode about this
That and M&S’s Wensleydale and Carrot Chutney sandwich are my favourite veggie sandwiches.
The only saving grace of Pret is that they do give away unsold food to those who need it.
Many other fast food shops just bin everything.
If its a “rip off” or too expensive for you dont buy it. Its pretty simple really no need to be outraged by it. No one is forcing you to
Cost of living crisis go brrr. No solution in sight, I see. Almost as if the Tory elite wants its serfs starved and bankrupted into submission…
What the fuck happened to Pret in the last 3 years. Granted it was already a bit expensive but not stupid. But now just like wtf
If people want a cheapo version, they can visit any other store – but, in Pret, customers would not expect to pay £0.01 for the service of whatever the equivalent term for a sandwich maker would be compared with a “chef”.
