I went to a chip shop today
Jump to: Newest in thread
The food was expensive enough and when I asked for sauce he was charging £1:50p for it and that was for a small portion of sauce. I usually have two different sauces that's 3 quid just for sauce on me chips!
Ffs I know things have gone up on price but I think that's ridiculous. They'll be charging for salt and vinegar next.
Do they do this where you live ? |

A pot of curry sauce is £1.
The sachets of ketchup and mayo are 20p each I think.
Ketchup used to be free from a bottle like at burger vans until they made it in sachets.
The kebab shop does small pots of mayo, chilli sauce, ketchup etc for £1 |

"Rarely have them but I don't have sauce on mine. When I get home I heat up a tin of baked neans and put that on top 
Im tempted to keep a bottle of sauce in the car from now on "
Have a drink in a Wetherspoons and borrow some sachets from the condiment trolley  |

Too right.
These takeaways must be making good money on sauce alone |

Things are going mad .
A bottle of water that was 17p is now 36p
That’s more then double .
And soaps have a big scoop cutted of in on of the sides . Same product , same package . Higher price , less quantity
Cheecky fuckers . A scoop less of soap
Is just getting stupid really |

I refused to even pay for it. He could of poured a bit on or handed me the bottle like most do. But no £1:50p for small sauce and £2:50p for larger. |

I believe many are jumping on the bandwagon with the price increases. |

And it's not only shops. I know a farmer who has reduced the size of his bales of hay and increased the price  |

"What sort of sauce. Do you mean a pot or a sachet
A little pot that's all they offered. Ketchup. "
I don't really know from the chip shop but if you have a small pot of pickle from the Indian it's 90p |

Nah. If more people en masse refused the pay the prices charged, the merchant would have to reduce the price they charge. We can vote with our feet and our purses/wallets.
Merchants should charge the prices we demand as customers, not the prices they foister upon us.

Not really, I would have politely declined as well. It’s very rare I go to a chippy these days. It used to be a cheap dinner, not any more!
People won’t be able to afford eating there and the business will suffer. The shop is probably struggling just as much with energy and other supply costs rising.
There is a saying that I’ve heard banded about:
“A rising tide lifts all.”
In my opinion, it’s only those who can swim.

I like that saying. Unfortunately I'm struggling to keep my head above water as it is. |
