They’re supposed to toast it at least
The fuckers didn’t even put the pieces of bread together.
If you lived in LA, this would be a £12 sandwich. the sandwich economy here is out of control.
Didn’t know LA used Pounds instead of USD
It’s that out of control
Yeh I was thinking to myself "they’re probably $13 here in Vancouver ". If you think LA is bad, Tacos are $6 each here now and burritos are $20-25.
8£ is roughly 13$ Canadian. So yeah.
I’ve clearly eaten too many lunches from food vendors (including SB) inside convention centers because I expected see maybe 2 slices of ham and 1 of cheese for $8 (in 2023 money). And maybe a lettuce leaf that is probably a recycled hot coffee sleeve dyed green.
Actually, you were right. This sandwich contains 2 half slices of cheese and 4 half slices of ham.
The ham is folded
Them’s fightin words buddy
I don’t think it is. Look at the second slice from the top. There’s a hole on the left edge. If it was folded, I would expect to see a layer between the hole and the third slice. If it is folded, every fold is so perfect that there is no overhang on any edge. You cannot possibly fold irregularly shaped ham slices with that kind of precision.

You don’t buy Starbucks food for the value. You do it cause there’s one on the way to work/school.
Dont buy food in a shitty ciffee shop… lol
You’re a union hating boot licking nazi cop if you support starbucks
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
Just slap a label on it like with artisan bread and any hipster out there will grab it up yum…
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?
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!
And it cost less than half of this one at Montparnasse and is much nicer
I see no butter or similiar here.

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?
A sub is definitely a sandwich.
no, and neither is a hot dog, wrap, burger, baguette nor a bagel
It’s my wife! millions of boomers laughing
Crime!
4 slices of meat 2 slices of cheese + 2 slices of bread -------------------- £8What’s not to get?
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.

The sandwich itself ain’t that bad. I would like some sauce/oil/whatever wet but apart from that looks ok. The issue is the price…
Enough meat, one slice too little of cheese. But why is there no butter nor salad on it?
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 is consistent, has bathrooms, and they don’t bother you if you sit there for a while. I have been avoiding them but you asked and I answered.
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."
My main reason to go to McDonalds on a business trip is, that you can eat there on your own without looking lonely.
Thanks but no, I can’t eat anywhere without looking lonely.
Snow Crash is one of the greatest books ever written.
Now I have to re-read snow crash. Such a great book.
All these beefy Caucasians with guns. Get enough of them together, looking for the America they always believed they’d grow up in, and they glom together like overcooked rice, form integral, starchy little units. With their power tools, portable generators, weapons, four-wheel-drive vehicles, and personal computers, they are like beavers hyped up on crystal meth, manic engineers without a blueprint, chewing through the wilderness, building things and abandoning them, altering the flow of mighty rivers and then moving on because the place ain’t what it used to be. The byproduct of the lifestyle is polluted rivers, greenhouse effect, spouse abuse, televangelists, and serial killers. But as long as you have that four-wheel-drive vehicle and can keep driving north, you can sustain it, keep moving just quickly enough to stay one step ahead of your own waste stream. In twenty years, ten million white people will converge on the north pole and park their bagos there. The low-grade waste heat of their thermodynamically intense lifestyle will turn the crystalline icescape pliable and treacherous. It will melt a hole through the polar icecap, and all that metal will sink to the bottom, sucking the biomass down with it.
It’s a little game I play whenever I am abroad to go check out a chain place to see how different it is. Very anecdotal
7-11 is all over the place. Prices and what they have will vary by country.
Starbucks is consistent on high end drink items both in price and what they make.
Dunkin is pretty much the same everywhere except you can’t seem to get drip coffee in some countries.
MacDonalds is the same with maybe one local item. Kinda cool getting a beer in Germany with some French fries.
Same. Been to a few places in southeast Asia and Starbucks is pretty much the same everywhere there. So I can step off a street full of stalls selling all sorts of food items that I would class as “extremely adventurous” into a store with recognisable sweet/savoury cafe food options. I can relax in consistently dark-hued wood decor with a consistent assortment of tables/couches/chairs/charging points, and a consistent range of coffee drinks that each have enough calories to sustain a local family for a week.
That’s $9.77 in Freedom Dollars.
