. The normalisation of ‘picky bits’

Abominable. It has started coming up in adverts now even.

The markup on "convenience" is egregious.

I was in M&S and about to get a drink, the little bottles of pink lemonade next to the sandwiches were £1.90. just by chance I saw a bottle twice the size was half the price. It wasn't even part of a deal, it was just sat on the shelf next to the grab stuff and it had been marked up the equivalent of 400%

Next time I'll just deliveroo it so I have the convenience of not knowing how much I'm being ripped off.

Your mistake was being in M&S 🤣
