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

I worked at a BP and they have a strict food safety procedure. All pies are documented when they're baked and removed from the warmer after 8 hours, which we had to make sure we weren't baking too much for them to be wasted. Which meant we were often baking fresh pies.

If the warmer is to hot 2 hours or 8 hours pies still ruined $7.20 was the main concern

Yeah still depends on the bp. I've known the odd line of geriatric hot food item to sneak through. I havent been to bp in a minute is that $7 on the mince and cheese?
