Why the bloody fuck is this even making the news? www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/37285515/anger-on-social-media-over-sainsburys-3-on-the-go-meal-deal-changesI mean.. Are the working class being priced out of the 'Taste the difference' lunchtime sandwich with the 90p per meal increase? Then, we have proper white, middle class outrage, Taking to social media to voice their displeasure 'Come on Rupert...we will show them!' FFS even Brexit is being blamed for removing the 'Chicken triple' from the meal deal. Jeez... Slow news day or just moaning twats? So..What outrages you? ( apart from other people being outraged!!!)

Meal deals outrage me. I just want a sandwich, not a toxic fizzy sugar-laden drink and bag of fatty salty crisps but oh no, their sneaky up selling tactics means that I'd feel I'd missed a bargain if I just had the sandwich. So I end up having the works and getting fat and unhealthy. Outrageous.

Buy 2 get one free...I don't now buy that product even if I had intended to purchase...I see it as a form of co-ercion trying to make me buy 2 of something to get a freebie when it'll take me ages to use/eat or whatever the product so I don't bother.

I'm too tight to buy pre packed sandwiches so can't see what all the fuss is about. Make your own you lazy feckers!! As for outrage, I can't think of anything much that bothers me to that degree. Outrage is a much overused word, a lot like unbelievable. Yes, you could argue it's outrageous religion hasn't been banned, no cure for cancer has yet been found, racism and homophobia are still rife and so on, if you did, you'd have a pretty sorry outlook on life - most probably ending up with you posting incoherent nonsense about the perils of drink boating on the UK's number 1 waterways forum....

I actually appreciate the many varieties of sandwiches to be found in food shops, they're often very good in Britain. When flying into Manchester airport and catching a train to Piccadilly and another one onwards, it's quite handy and nice to pop into the little Sainsbury's at Piccadilly and pick something up to munch on whilst watching the landscape pass by. We may have had something we made for the plane journey, but I refuse to buy stuff from the plane. The drink and packet of crisps with the 'meal deal' is lame, yes, but if you have 20 minutes between trains there's time to shop around and come out with something interesting. Those sushi rolls, or those pasta mixes aren't bad - and buy a can of beer to go with them - or buy a bottle of wine and have a glass whilst staring at the countryside from the train window.

I tell you what's outrageous: the fucker steering a hire boat yesterday. I moved right as we approached each other. Rather than moving right himself he moved left, forcing me to take emergency action. I paddled hard into the reeds at the side, he just missed me. The most outrageous thing about this was that as he passed he said cheerfully "another one behind". I replied, somewhat less cheerfully "do you think he will move over?"
Totally outrageous.

So I end up having the works and getting fat and unhealthy. Outrageous. "Up selling" as a tactic when trying to order food has to be about one of the most obnoxious things retailers do these days. F'ing idiots who can't qualify for a job better than "paper or plastic" stand there with a smile on their face and ask question after question after question when all you are trying to do is order a teriyaki bowl. I've gotten to the point that as soon as the order taker tries to up sell, I just tell him/her, "Please just take my order as I place it and quite trying to f'ing up sell me." But it seems like it actually takes the "F-word" to get those damn people to realize that you really want them to just STFU and listen to your order.

I suppose linking to a 13 year old article is bordering on outrageous.
