    Man mortified after his secret Tesco purchases were exposed thanks to Clubcard app - The Mirror

    He was left red-faced after his eating habits were exposed via his wife's Clubcard app - revealing a huge amount of one particular bakery item he enjoys before work

    That’s a lot of cinnamon swirls but I notice he has sugar free red bulls and diet cokes as well which is fine because that will cancel out the sugar from them

    Never any swirls left? Try a Pain au Raisin. Or 411 of them.

    I am inclined to cut the media more slack than most, but fucking hell...

    Company removes unauthorized painting/mural from own property should not be a story, let alone a story that is sympathetic to the illegal work simply because it's issue du jour.

    And they wonder why large sections of the public hold them in such low regard

    I have to confess I gave fergburger a miss on my trip to Queenstown last year. I saw the lines and thought fuck that and went somewhere else.

    Doesn’t take much to offend people these days, thank goodness the person in question went to the media to tell them how outraged they were

    I'm so old I remember when you could get a Fergburger without having to queue.

    Perfect illustration of the mindless herd instinct of the social media generation. Queue for fucking ever just so you can say you've had what is a very underwhelming burger.

    Still its built the 'Ferg' empire. The bakery, deli and bar are good but nothing is going to match the hype and expectations of the burger.

    It's been many years, but I recall the burger being pretty good. I do remember going there at an off peak time because I couldn't be arsed queuing for ages. And that the bakery didn't seem anywhere near as good

    @dogmeat

    No restaurant , certainly no fast food restaurant, is good enough to have me queuing out the door if there’s an alternative nearby.

    None.

    What is it about Fergburger that got this reputation ? Anyone ?

    If there were no lines out the door I would have happily gone to see for myself as I love a good burger ( can recommend Ekim Burger in Welly, outstanding and SUCH good value ) but like @Catogrande there is nothing that will have me lining up for ages when there are loads of other options very nearby.

    Reputation probably built on a good product originally (I do have fond memories, it was a very nice burger) blown out of proportion by word of mouth and now social media
