Cost of Living - Shrinkflation is speeding up at an alarming rate

[BUDFORCE]

Went to Bills the other day for breakfast for 2.

Orange Juice = £3.95
Orange Juice = £3.95
Bills Big Brunch = £13.95
Bill's Big Brunch = £13.95
Sub Total = £35.80
Service charge = £4.48
TOTAL = £40.28

The Orange Juices came 3/4 filled with a load of ice and the brunches were luke warm. Single sausage, tiny amount of bacon.

I'd feel less violated being physically mugged.

Wtf?

I'd be putting a 1 star review on Google maps.

Service charge on an English breakfast as well.

My local Bills permanently closed recently, I wonder why.

Service charges should be illegal. Its like booking fees etc. The price should be the price. If you are adding a service charge to pay for your staff or whatever else, that should be reflected in the price of everything. You know, like how you charge based on ingredient cost, property, staffing etc.

Me too, just charge me what you are going to charge me. Adding extra fees on top is a no from me.

If I want to tip, I will give it in cash to the waiter, not to the business.

It’s hard to get a typical British fry up breakfast wrong and at £14 you expect the ‘big’ version, with two plus of everything and toast to boot. The absolute state get to get a single sausage for that.
