Another Brexit bonus!
My favourite local Chinese takeaway has stickers on the menu saying the prices aren't accurate, presumably because they got a big batch printed and don't fancy binning them. As they don't have an online presence, you have to order by phone or in person, so you never know how much it's going to cost. Despite this, they are always run off their feet as the food is a level above the competitions - the salt and pepper siu mai are divine.
I mean I get that prices have gone up, but it's not difficult or costly these days to print out correct pricing for accurate up to date, in store menus, should someone call in for an order, remind them over the phone prices have changed, and tell them what each item will cost when they order it, anything other is shady as fuck, no matter how good the food is, it would probably annoy me to the point of going elsewhere. Probably. Unless they sold huge old school new york take out egg rolls as big as half your arm, if they did that I'd turn my pockets inside out until lint fell out.
It's been over £10 everywhere I've been for many years. Just can't justify it anymore, especially when they skimp out on the chips ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The cheapest takeaway option for us at the moment is Dominoes. No idea how that happened.
It’s nearly the same for me, depending on what offers Dominos have that week.
We tend to mostly get Chinese takeaways now because it comes out at almost the same price as fish and chips but with a lot more variety. Even just a portion of chips from the chippy is pricey now.
Now that's a shocker - they always seemed like the most expensive option.
And yet, here am I, contemplating a 280 mile round trip tomorrow to initiate my daughter into the utter delight that is a Sheffield fishcake butty. If you know, you know. Sheffield fishcakes make other fishcake weep at their inadequacy.
You know that old saying "if a fish cries in the ocean, does it make a sound?"
It does if it's going to end up in any other kind of fishcake!
We're all pretending that inflation is 2-3% when food prices are still rising 30-50% every year.
Also, ctrl-f "climate change". Nothing?
Even in Australia, 2 dollars of chips as a kid was enough for my mum brother and I, especially between some bread.
Now to be comparable you need 15 dollars worth.
If I could buy it with coins found on the ground in a day and can't now it's gone up far too much
Chip shops will go the same way as pubs.
