My Pret Boycott is continuing to enjoy success after success. This morning as I was walking to work through the IFC mall I had to pass the dreaded house of evil. Some poor misguided and exploited employee was standing outside handing out flyers. I always ignore them anyway, but it was how I ignored her today. I made a point of continuing to walk at a normal pace, controlling the welling rage within me. I looked into her eyes. She knew I knew. She feebly offered the flyer. With a cold, steely look I continue to stare at her as I kept pace with the hundreds of other office drones on their way to work. She withdrew the proferred flyer. She knew she was defeated. A wry smile came across my face as I walked away. Chalk up another victory for the forces of good.

There are hundreds of shocking facts about Pret that you should know. They are owned by McDonalds. I like McDonalds, I admire any organisation that can mass produce food at a reasonable quality at a low cost (with decent profit margins). There are few places that provide as much food for as little money. However Pret pretends to be a sandwich shop which makes healthy, fresh food. The reality is they are overpriced fancy fakes. I have not heard of anyone coming out of there with a chicken and lettuce, or peanut butter sandwich.

Is this boycott a waste of time? McDonalds are in all sort of profit trouble, like this from BBC news. All I'm asking is for them to re-instate sushi on their menu. I will prevail.

Please feel free to join the boycott. It's simple. Just stop buying from Pret. They have the sandwiches but we have the power.
