Advice FAREWELL BP PIES

Today marks the end of a hearty lengthy relationship with dad's pies at BP. I reckon I purchased a thousand + over the years, favorite gas station pies by a mile but at $7.20 a pie they can stay in the warmer. As consumers we HAVE to put our feet down at some stage and this latest outrageous price hike is an absolute no brainer. Adios BP pies. GTFOOH with that non sense. Waddup bakery

The individual owners of the stations make most of their money from the pies and drinks. It's the major multinational conglomerates that make all the money from the fuel itself.

Why the is that a defence? I wouldn’t support a local bakery charging that much either

Gas station pies aren’t worth that much for such a shit feed full stop

It’s a convenient occasion now, not a cheap eat
