Yeah, Pret a Manger has a reputation for being expensive and pretentious, whereas Greggs has a reputation for being cheap and unpretentious.

I am British and I love this.

You're right.

Oh, I thought it was the CEO's online reputation and the fact the people are hearing more and more that their after sales service is shit, eg being charged £17000 for a new motor which is apparently the driver's fault for driving it in the rain. In Scotland.

Apparently the problem has been known for some time:

You say that because you commit crimes of indecency against confectionary and you like to think of yourself as immune to radicalisation. Don't kid yourself. Come back to all that is right and good before it's too late for you.

It's symptomatic. Symptomatic of the abandonment of all that is proper and decent. Would our great grandparents have eaten candy like this? Would they have celebrated their rebellious ways so boldly? No, they'd have been ashamed. Ashamed of their wicked rule breaking. Rule breaking just for the sake of it. Rule breaking, not for mercy, not in exceptional circumstances, not out of desperation or having no other options, but role breaking just to show off how little respect they have in their hearts.

So yes, yes, people are eating bad candy so incorrectly that you can TELL society is on the point OF COLLAPSE.

This is indicative of a terrible malaise in education, in parenting, in intergenerational transfer of values, in respect and in good manners. No wonder the far right are on the rise, that Naziism is again celebrated. These edgelords will be the first to join the SS, just to shamelessly show off how wicked they are. Have we learned nothing? Are we so quick to repeat history's darkest mistakes?

Idiots.

See, this is what's wrong with society today.

I'm happy to let mods carve out a bunch of niche communities with their own preferences. The fediverse is a big place. If you don't like instances that are protective of LGBT+ folks you're cutting it down a bit, but genuinely, you seem to be deliberately picking topics that troll the specific community you're posting on, then you complained that they took it down. Post where your post will be welcome, stop complaining when you post where you already know it's not. Reddit and twitter are pretty right wing and troll friendly. Maybe you'll be happier there.

Actually made me laugh, thank you.

I don't know who you are, or what you write, but thank you.

But if prices don't go up, the profits won't increase! Why doesn't anybody think of the poor shareholders, trying to barely eke out an income from their holdings?
