Pret a Mange. I am loyal but now...

Pret have discontinued their Popcorn Bars.

Bastards.

I love Pret. I love their sandwiches. I love their salads. I love their bakery items.

I love Pret staff.

I love having a filter coffee for 49p.

why not inbox them

Or contact them, rather than using a verb that doesn’t exist.

@Shiklah Goodness me, taking responsibility for my own OCD rather than demanding everyone cater to me personally. It wouldn't occur to me! What a palaver!

Honestly, the preciousness of some people.

@BrightYellowDaffodil

I don't think I have ever rolled my eyes so hard in my entire life.

user1467718508 · 09/11/2018 11:38

@HairsprayBabe Grin agreed!

easyandy101 · 09/11/2018 11:47

It clearly isnt OCD otherwise they would have had wipes or antibac wash with them. Is there a reason youre trying to stir up a row?

I'm stirring up a row by saying give someone you don't know much about on the Internet a break?

Bah! How annoying! I love their popcorn bars. Maybe I'll tweet them. They discontinued their chai lattes for a while - they were delicious and cardamom-heavy and not too sweet, but now they've brought them back and changed the recipe to something not as good.

I still miss their Chocolate Goddess cake from at least ten years ago. It was probably outrageously bad for you, but it was really lovely.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 09/11/2018 12:11

I love their cinnamon danish. Don’t have it often because it has a few thousand calories, but once in a while it’s lovely.

I also love their single size sandwiches.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 09/11/2018 12:16

Shiklah if you're so opposed to eating without washing your hands I am truly baffled to why you wouldn't have a small bottle of hand wash on you. Confused

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 09/11/2018 12:24

I hate not being able to wash my hands, but they have napkins and I also manage to eat the danish using the bag it comes in.

@HairsprayBabe - you can just scroll past a post that you're not interested in.

GabsAlot · 09/11/2018 13:45

i do hate it when shops discontinue things u love

pork and apple sausages from tesco why would u stop them

also chicken supreme yes the ready meal one i loved it

KeysHairbandNotepad · 09/11/2018 13:49

I've stopped using pret as much recently. I find the staff at my local shop a little rude. Also the food has diminished in value and quality. If I visit a chain I tend to prefer Nero.

DP manages a high street coffee chain store, he once had a woman come in and she was so angry that they had discontinued her order she complained about it to their head office, blaming the shop for not warning her about the change! DP said he has warned regulars in the past, but he had never seen this woman in his life before, so he would have struggled to warn her!

@IamtheMistressofmyFate Or... people could not comment on a thread in a way that will totally derail it or totally change the tone of what the OP is aiming for? There is thought!

user1471426142 · 09/11/2018 14:23

I’m going to ignore all the serious stuff and add in my sadness around the popcorn bar. To the poster asking about bang bang chicken, it’s back in my local one. I was getting annoyed by its absnese too.

plumstone · 09/11/2018 14:31

Devastated by the loss of the popcorn bar - Not a massive chocolate fan and that just hit the spot - always would try to get one with lots of caramel drizzled on it and less chocolate.

Suppose will have to power through with a pecan slice!

Long time mourner of the greek yoghurt and chocolate brownie pot. It was just perfect.
