Sayers - Ripping Off Liverpool To Subsidise Wools

I've noticed that Sayer's have re-branded their Hampson's shops in wool areas like Ormskirk, and are now calling themselves The Pound Bakery. It's still Sayer's, as I've seen their lorries delivering there.

 

Anyway, they've kept their Liverpool outlets as Sayer's shops, and are stil charging the prices they have been. However in the newly re-branded shops their pies (which we pay over the odds for) are only £1. Their deal for two large sausauge rolls in Liverpool (£1.50) is only £1. And all their other deals are £1 or so many for £1. Their sandwiches are reduced to basic thick cut bread instead of a fancy roll, but are also reduced from £2+ to £1.

 

In short, their Liverpool customers are still paying top whack, but the outlying areas are paying less. I'm surprised our shitty local press hasn't got onto this.

The Sayers in Runcorn shopping city is a haven for teenage mums shoving flakey

Sausage rolls into the mitts of their bastard no shoed offspring, I'm sure the CSA hand out lunch tokens.

 

On the plus side they used to do corned beef hash pasties that were ace.

 

Got mine from the one in Runcorn Old Town but should have got a cheese and onion one instead.

 

Change is not always better.

Me and the Mrs went to the Sayers in Belle Vale when I was back home; I was left underwhelmed. Nothing there. Every time my Mrs asked for something she was greeted with, "haven't got it." In the end I said to the woman "have you actually got anything? Be quicker just telling us what you've got and we'll go from there eh." Knew I should've gone to Gregs but my Mrs won't go there. Ended up with a sausage roll which was alright like. I was pretty fucked off then, but this is just the final straw. An out and out outrage. I'm fully endorsing a massive campaign of fire-bombing here. It's the only alternative left.

The Cornish rolls there are the food of the gods. Not cheap though, last time I went they were charging £1.40 for tiny meat pies.

 

Were they the still warm cheshire beef meat pies? If so they are fucking delicious, it was probably about 15 years ago when I had them at a place in Runcorn old town and it sounds like it was the devonshire.

There's a Pound Bakery in the Swan now. Didn't know they were anything to do with Sayers.

Why didn't you walk the 50 yards up to the Gregg's at the other end?!

It's surely a flawed business model to call it the pound bakery. When they inevitably have to put the prices up it means they either have to change their name or stop doing 2 for 1 (i.e. double their price in one hit).

 

Also, how is this new pasty tax going to affect them?
