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.

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.

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?

I’m just disappointed they didn’t do the proper conversion from USD to GBP. Should only be about £6.50!

You do know how prepackaged food works right? You buy it, they take it out of the package and heat it up or serve it to you… it’s behind the counter. You don’t get to pick one out and ask for it. Dumbass…

Yeah, support a local sandwich shop.

Probably won’t be much cheaper but it’ll be ten times the quality.

My family ran a local sandwich shop for years. Here’s the problem.

If this is downtown, the local sandwich shop isn’t even there, in part because Starbucks helped price them out of being able to rent. Every supermarket now has a sandwich counter too, so local sandwich shops don’t do well in shopping centers either. Fast food has slightly improved their quality over the years so that’s more competitors at the low end. And Subway, period.

You’re paying for the convenience at Starbucks and in some cases convenience is valuable. If you don’t care about time and can go out of your way to a local sandwich shop, you get better food for less.

Luckily the downtown in the city where I live doesn’t allow chain restaurants so I have many options for decently priced food.

Idk…local independent shops aren’t necessarily cheaper. There is a local coffee shop somewhat by me and it’s more expensive than Starbucks. Independent places don’t have the advantage of mass scale like the big name fast food and chain places do. When I go independent, I often find myself paying more money for less convenience. So it’s not even just convenience that you’re sacrificing

Coffee will be better as well. Starbucks burns their beans so they can guarantee the same “quality” flavor at every location.

This I can actually weight in on a bit. They have their recipe under full version control and plant operations can only adjust it slightly without HQ doing an override. Not their air waste handling however, that is under local control.

Nobody goes to Starbucks for good coffee, they go because it’s the same everywhere. Sometimes I want to go get a great coffee somewhere they know how to pull a decent shot, and sometimes I want brownish sugarmilk.

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