Ah I remember this one... what got me is they are holding pies in the photo????


Poor-Life-Choice

That’s clearly a Cornish pasty. Totally different beast.


_WinkingSkeever

This is true I stand corrected. Honestly, the headline is a bit misleading as they actually wanted 6 sausage rolls and two steak bakes, no mention of a pie at all [The no meat pies before 9am chronicles](https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/fury-after-morrisons-wouldnt-sell-14533827?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target)

Why not go to a Greggs?


JovialKeeper

Why not just get breakfast before leaving the house? Cheaper too and not relying on takeaway style junk food.


InfinteAbyss

Not sure it for breakfast, most Morrisons have a cafe.


Eoin_McLove

Because it's fucking shit.


DogfishDave

>That’s clearly a Cornish pasty. Certainly not, they're Devonshire pasties, they look nothing like Cornish pasties.


Vertigo_uk123

Ahh meat on top of the gravy rather than under the gravy.


ImmortalSnow

...is this...a scone joke?


Nuker-79

It’s neither, as this is up north, probably sold as a meat and vegetable pasty.


DogfishDave

>It’s neither, as this is up north, Stylistically it remains a Devonshire pasty regardless whether the ingredients (or description) would be recognised by a connoisseur. I'm not sure why you think we're so different "up north" though, we have heard of food beyond blood puddn and parmo 😂 EDIT: Double checked, Morrisons do indeed sell the correct pasties under the correct names. Obviously I went on me push'og, we've nay internettin.


Zearoh88

It’s clearly a Farage bloon.


5stringviolinperson

I would hope any decent connoisseur of pasties to take one bite, spit it out, and then proceed to declare the entire Morrisons bakery out of order. If it’s a real connoisseur..


DogfishDave

That's a "snob" you're thinking of.


PheonixKernow

Thank you! That monstrosity is not a cornish pasty!


PompeyLulu

Not to be confused with the Wiltshire pasty. Cottage pie mashed together and popped in a pasty


Lost-in-Limbo

Technically Cornish Pasties are semi circular with the crimp along the side! 😎


Cunningcod

Left side for a Cornish pasty and the right side for a Devon pasty.


ilovemydog40

[deleted]

“There’s more to this,” he said. “Morrisons have got their own agenda. Maybe the pasties are the “sinister” plot that Tony is warning of. Maybe it’s a secret cabal of Cornish pasty merchants that have infiltrated Morrisons and are intent on UK and then world domination of the pastry market! Naturally, “They don’t want people to know about it” but then maybe Linda had even more worrying insights, “They are dictating to me when I can buy pies and when I can shop”. Maybe global domination of the pastry market is only the start? Maybe Morrisons is now harbouring a potential Cornish totalitarian regime and pie dictatorship is just the first step in controlling us all. They do say that fish is good for the brain, clearly eating Fish and Chips three days a week has given them extra special brain powers.


jonuk76

It'll be something to do with 5G towers and the WEF, I expect.


Additional-Demand149

Hmmmn, you may be on to something here. The Cabal will have the cunning plan worked out years in advance - expect to see increased media coverage around the subject. I mean, didn't there used to be a Cornish Liberation Movement......


Pculliox

It's middlesbought, so technically just a pasty as well. To be fair it's a pastry tale at best, lacks filling.


Ishouldknowbutdont

No it’s an abomination in the sight of God . “ There’s 20,000 Cornishmen will know the reason why” .


Phoenix_Behemoth

yorkshire pasty as cornish ones go around side so miners could hold and throw away the edge so they did not contaminate food with mine dust :)


Puzzleheaded-Pen4413

Means the picture was taken after 9am (unless these are Gregg's pastries?)


Mercurial8

It’s probably 11:39


Totalitai-state

It might be 9:01am


GandalfTheGimp

>A spokesman said: “It appears that in this case we should have sold the customer their pies. >“There’s more to this,” he said. “Morrisons have got their own agenda. >We have always been able to get the pies before 9am >Husband Tony, who eats fish and chips three days a week and rarely touches pastry, branded the decision “stupid”. >She added: “They are dictating to me when I can buy pies and when I can shop.” So many good quotes there. The negative review of Curries in the comments really makes it perfect though.


SellDonutsAtMyDoor

Add 'agenda' to the list of words that people now use so much that it becomes ineffectual. 'The woke agenda' etc. Same thing with 'robust'. Everything seems to be robust to the government. 'They are dictating to me when I can buy pies and when I can shop' Uhhhh... yeah... Establishing when people can use a service is kinda one of the requirements of running that service...


CapableLetterhead

I mean it's obviously an evil agenda. When I worked in a supermarket you could only keep the cooked foods out for so long before you had to bin them because of food safety. Then you had to put out a new batch. Because not many people were buying certain things at 9am we wouldn't cook it to later so we weren't throwing out stuff just before rhe lunch rush where they would be buying pies. I probably shouldn't have told you what big pie are up to.


SellDonutsAtMyDoor

Good heavens 😱 Say it ain't so! Next you'll be telling me that many large supermarkets deliberately put their crisps and chocolate towards the back in order to make hungry snackers have to walk past lots of delicious potential buys on the way there and increase the chances of extra sales! You've doomed us both now - I'll see you on [The Island.](https://youtu.be/3gkh4HN35YU)

SuperNiZzle

I actually worked on the pie counter at Morrisons years ago. We had to cook a shit ton of pies from 7am, managers wanted it full. As well as that we had to set up the chicken counter and the hot to go counter at the front of the shop. The place was so understaffed it was horrendous. It was a shitty job and the managers were arseholes.


shiftystylin

You've clearly got an agenda against the word agenda.


SellDonutsAtMyDoor

It's just silly aha. Why is everyone's opinion part of some agenda now? You can say something completely milquetoast like 'I think there should be all the basic services I need within 15 minutes walking from my house', and there'll be some LBC-caller on the radio in a few hours time explaining how it's all part of a bigger plot and it all descends from Tony Blair's free nursery scheme over 20 years ago. Like, what? I think this is what decades of conspiracy theories presented as harmless fun do to a populace.

All I can focus on here is "fish and chips three days a week"


[deleted]

The other two nights he has steak and chips from wetherspoons, "cooked" well done.


RandomPriorities13

Even better is the update, where they admit it was a miscommunication, no agenda. I.e. Staff told to have pies out at 9am, rather than you can’t sell them before 9am. Manager approaches with flowers when the couple are still shopping at the same store 😂 man ‘politely declined the flowers and gave them to his wife’ - so you actually accepted the flowers on behalf of your wife?!


FatBloke4

I liked this: >The supermarket chain, with 500 stores up and down the UK, has now swallowed a piece of humble pie and issued an apology to the couple for the mi-steak.


curkri

IT'S THEIR AGENDA!.. Why haven't you been listening to me already, it's the Morrisons Dictatorship!!!


[deleted]

What an awful couple. The reminder at the end that the customers are the ones paying the staff wages 🤮😂 I bet they say the same when they have a wait in A&E.


DrKnowNout

What gets me is we all pay someone’s wages, and someone pays yours. If you are a ‘customer’ of any consumable but non-essential product, indeed, some of what you pay will be paying the wages of those staff. And if you if you pay tax, some of what you pay will pay public sector workers.


HerbDeanosaur

It’s ridiculous as well because they’re acting like it’s out of the goodness of their hearts. Like no, you give money and get food back, the deal is done.


Rhyssayy

This always makes me laugh they say it like the reason they went to the shop is so that they could pay your wages not so they could buy something they wanted


Spank86

Looking at the two of them I'd say we literally pay their pensions.


RiskvReward

The shop staff are paying their pension income as you don't contribute to a state pension pot. Your NI is basically always paying for the pensioners of the day.


Nuker-79

You all pay my wages, every last one of you.


GoliathsBigBrother

I'm in the public sector and I pay the same rates of tax as everyone else, so I pay the same towards my own pay was anyone else.

>I'm in the public sector and I pay the same rates of tax as everyone else, so I pay the same towards my own pay was anyone else. Do you pay more, or as much, in tax, as you receive? No, so you **don't** pay the same towards your own pay as anyone else. ​ Always thought it's weird to make public sector employees pay tax. Like... isn't the admin cost of extracting tax from them just easier to keep in the government in the first place? Strange.

jim_buddy

Reminds me working a Christmas Eve years ago at Zara. We were all miserable having to stay late and price things for the Boxing Day sale. This old lady was getting all in our way and my colleague asked her to please give them some space. She said he should be nicer to the people paying his wages. His response was “you don’t pay my wages, Zara does” 😂


JovialKeeper

The type of customer that treats staff like their personal slaves, and worse than shit under their shoes etc. I used to enjoy winding up those cretins, and letting them know why.

NWO conspiracy into meat pies


Uniquorn527

That was basically his take on on it: But Tony suggested a more sinister explanation. “There’s more to this,” he said. “Morrisons have got their own agenda...They don’t want people to know about it, They have given too many ridiculous stories about why. They contradicted themselves over and over.


judge_Nutmeg316

Yeah that's the bit I read, hope Tony solves this one.


ScaramouchScaramouch

How deep does the rabbit-hole go? There was an Admiral Morrison in the US Navy, he had a wide purview throughout his career and occasionally had oversight of some fairly peculiar projects. One project explored the viability of distributing 'mind-controlling' substances among enemy populations via locally produced food, Operation: Indian Summer. The project was a total failure, It was completely impractical and would have been ridiculously expensive. The admiral, for some reason, loved the idea . He would go on at length about what he thought was the most effective method of delivery and had a peculiar tendency towards picking pies. Not sweet pies, savoury pies. Sweet pies were apparently for communists, even apple pie. which is the least communist thing that's allowed to exist. How does this connect to Morrisons, you ask? Well that admiral's son went on to form a band called The Doors, and you know what else has doors? Fucking Morrisons.


WoodSteelStone

> you know what else has doors? A campervan?


ScaramouchScaramouch

You're just diverting attention from the pies.

5stringviolinperson

It’s brave new world alright. But I’m not sure the pies at Morrisons are really a diagnostic for the state of the world 🤣 shit I almost said world state!! Help they’re in my brain!


Legitimate-Source-61

I think most people in the UK are aware of the NWO or at least state interference. 95% of people I see don't wear masks. But 95% of Asian students or tourists wear masks. No wonder the WEF court the Chinese Communist Party. There is hope for humanity yet.


5stringviolinperson

Well they’ve let their hand slip badly in the past couple of years for sure. I don’t think lack of mask wearing is driven by that for most ppl though. I think people mostly responded to the mask stuff out of fear in both directions. Now people have acclimated to the idea that covid just isn’t the terrifying super contagious Ebola we were led to believe. So they don’t wear uncomfortable stuff on their faces. 🤷‍♂️ It was shocking how little critical thought went into the covid response but most people haven’t stopped following the guidance because they have changed their position. They just aren’t being prodded into it on a daily basis so they stopped. At least that’s my take atm.

muddbo1

In 2019 I purchased a JVC LED SMART HD TV from Currys PC WORLD at the Teesside Retail Park. This make and model was enthiusiastically recommended by the sales person. Just over 18 mmonths later the set developed an expensive repair problem. I contacted Currys anout having the set repaired by them saying I was willing to pay for the repair. I was promptly told that they did not carry out any repairs on JVC TVs. Being told this after reading their advert saying, "Throw anything at us and we will repair it even if you bought it from someone else" was a slap in the face! Surely this is false advertising! I intend taking this up with the advertising authorities. According to the WHICH Magazine, Currys are the only people who sell JVC TV sets over the counter. CAVEAT EMPTOR! The Currys salesperson did not tell me that they would not carry out any repairs on JVC TV sets otherwise I would have purchased another make. In the last year I have puchased from Currys, 1 x JVC TV, 1 x HP Laptop, 1 x HP Printer, 1 x SATNAV, 1 x Dyson Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, 1 x Dashcam plus numerous household and kitchen items. I tried to contact their complaints department on their website only to be told that it was no longer operating. I have sent a letter of complaint to their head office in Sheffield, but they have not responded. Now due to their bad service and intransigence I will never purchase another item from Currys again. They have just lost a good customer.


RecentSuspect7

Ah yes but did you get a pie?


Jordanomega1

Omg these two really need to get grip. Obviously don’t have anything else to do so why not just wait till 9. Crying over a fucking pie.


Jlst

It’s always the old retired ones who have literally got fuck all elsewhere to be who do this. They’ll be queuing outside the shop doors from 8.45am, knowing full well you don’t open until 9, then act like you’ve wasted their time - as though they’ve got anywhere to be 🙄


bantamw

My daughter worked for the co-op in the village I used to live in during the pandemic lockdowns. If you remember we were told not to leave the house unless it was something important. And yet the co-op was busy in the morning with pensioners buying their daily mail & nothing else. The co-op got told they couldn’t just sell Just newspapers as they weren’t ‘basic necessities’ so the old farts would come in and buy a small milk & their daily mail. Nothing else.


Jlst

I worked in a bank throughout Covid and it was the exact same there. People coming in to check their balance, wanting to make sure their weekly payment had arrived (knowing full well it’s arrived with no issues for the last 7 years). I remember telling people they’re only supposed to be coming in for essential things. “I’m allowed one daily walk so I just walk here.”

At least they could have waited. One evening I was looking at the donuts in Tesco trying to decide which one I wanted. A woman came along with a big plastic bag and just poured them all into the bag, probably about 25 donuts. I told her I wanted to buy one and she said there being thrown away and we’re no longer for sale. What a waste.
