Charles just reminded me of

Charles just reminded me of my boycott of Pret A Manger.

They used to have a delightful sushi pack for a reasonable HK$35 or so. I often would enjoy a little salomon and tuna of a lunchtime. So imagine my chagrin when I entered one lunchtime to not find any sushi gracing the shelves. None. Had they sold out? No. They decided to stop offering it due to "quality control issues." Will they be offering it again soon? No. An irate email to Pret HQ was met with a standard PR reply that my business was important to them, thanks for the feedback blah, blah.

That very day the boycott began. Until sushi returns to Pret's shelves, I will not so much as even look at the place.

Feel free to join this pointless bit of consumer activism.
